Climb to the top of the NEMO museum and look out at the views over the canals. You can walk up there without going into NEMO. There is a snack bar at the top. If the weather is nice the views are glorious.
We use the red route canal bus to go around the canals to Anne Franks house (and prebook that if you can as queues can be long). The red route goes from the opposite side of the canal from the main train-station. My kids love the HardRock. Tbh it is so similar to all the other ones in the world, but the view across the canals from the back is nice. The flower market (oh mum, do we have tooooo?) always ends up more enjoyable than they thought. Just potching. Even a bit of a walk through the red light district (easily done if not paying attention at the top end of Dam square) can be an illuminating experience shall we say ! |

Anne Frank's house is currently under renovation , not sure until when but numbers are limited so walk ups aren't advised . Maybe worth checking and prebooking.

Mikes bikes tours are good, they do one that leaves the city to go along the canal and see windmills, cheese, clogs etc...

Excited about Disney
|
There is a 'Soaring' style ride called 'This is Holland'. Looks good for kids.
I was going to book it for my family when we were thinking of visiting Amsterdam. |

Getting Excited
|
We did this when we were there last month. It was really good, we didn’t book in advance and it was fairly quiet so went straight in. It’s next to the Adam tower you take the free ferry over from behind the train station.
I’d also recommend doing a boat trip, again we just booked on the day, there were lots to choose from and lasted about an hour |
