This was actually the highlight of my trip to Amsterdam and I didn’t expect it. I absolutely LOVED all the interactive components of the museum as well as the figures portrayed. I would highly recommend squeezing this into your trip for some fun!

There is a big logo here, showing Amsterdam, but it is spelled with different sounds. The Dutch are really creative. You can spend a whole day in this Museum Square and rest leisurely here.

We entered on a whim as we had some time to kill and boy am I glad we did! A very interesting look at the history of sex and the attraction was bigger than I expected. Cheap entry too!

超赞瑟斯汉斯风车村，是非常值得一来的著名景点。今天天气好晴朗，阳光明媚，阳光充足，适合拍照。这里是著名的风车景点，沿着湖区小路，欣赏各种各样的风车，人文景色和一些奶酪小屋。有的风车是工作者，在风力作用下运行。拍照了很多照片，欣赏美景如画的风车村。

Fantastic little interactive playground for adults. There’s a lot of different rooms with different themes, the only downside is I don’t think they really clean some rooms as I had found a lot of hair in the tinsel shower room.

The Royal Zoo is the best place to take children. It is a zoo with a long history. It is much larger than some city zoos in China. The greening of the whole park is also very good. It is enough to spend an afternoon.

The flowers in the Netherlands are the most famous in the world, even more famous than those in Kunming in China. Therefore, the flower market there is still worth a visit. Compared with the Kunming flower market we have been to, the flowers here are obviously much more advantageous than those in China.
