What a fun, deep experience! - If you like EDM or are just in the mood to explore music or counterculture from a historical, immersive, inspiring lens, this is for you. This experience made me emotional, as it paints such a beautiful story about techno as something that has united people of all backgrounds throughout the years. It is super interactive, allowing you to make your own music, take quizzes, and even have a little rave with lights, fog machines and more. I would not stand on the dance floor at the rave if I were prone to seizures or vertigo, as the lights and movement are a little aggressive. Otherwise it is so worth it!

Dance Experience - Amazing experience! It’s very interactive. And possible to order a drink. Would recommend to friends. I definitely liked the end show.

Unfassbar cool!! - It was surprisingly good to be honest, the staff was really nice and funny. The fact that the exhibition was so interactive was super fun. Precisely because you know most of the musicians and music that is exhibited and played there. The “party insert” at the end was therefore pure nostalgia! Can only recommend

House music’s evolution and fun! - We had a lot of fun. Learning about the history and the evolution of house music is actually quite fascinating. There are so many things to see and experience. However, that’s the catch 22. While there is lots to really immerse yourself, they don’t quite give you enough time to explore before the full tour group meets again. But then again, it could just be that we wanted to read experience everything the museum had to offer. 45 minutes to explore on your own flew by so fast. If you have a chance to visit I would recommend it. We had fun and appreciate learning about the evolution of the genre!

History of house - This experience was alright I mean it had some cool things but I just wasn’t feeling it we tagged this on as an extra from another tour and it wasn’t very expensive. It gave you a good history of the music and all the equipment used to make house music. I feel like it needed something more as we went round pretty quickly.

Okay experience. - Interesting for fans of all kinds of EDM but unfortunately the experience is not curated very well. The visit starts with a brief presentation praising the electronic music community and after that you have 45 minutes to go through the museum yourself before you're called back onto the "main dance floor" for another video presentation of a very hectic but still kinda cool roundhouse blow of the history of EDM. The idea and composition of the museum is great but the time is just too short and it feels very unfinished and not completely thought through. Overall a nice experience though if you're into electronic music.

Not the right concept yet - The idea is nice, but the experience is not yet where it should be. You can now try out a lot, but you don't get any explanation about the equipment, so you have to tinker around a bit yourself. By the time you get the hang of it, someone else wants it too and time is up again. It's nice that there are props to look at. I think the beginning and end show are a bit rushed. I would keep the dance floor area open all day as a club, and give young talent a chance to perform there. Then you can create a bit of a club feeling. Nowadays the audience is somewhat expected to immediately achieve the atmosphere and energy of a climax at a party, which is impossible (even with a vibrating dance floor). Then only play house from a certain era between certain times (also with vinyl). It certainly has potential, but the right concept has not yet been found. In any case, I think the time is too short for the price you pay.

Null - No, it's not a museum but an attraction where for 45 minutes you can listen to music and then a mediocre show and no story about house music. Go your way

AVOID AT ALL COST - COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY - DON'T GET SCAMMED. - A complete waste of time. Not what we wanted or thought we were booking. Like others who have reviewed this organisation, they manage to con you in to booking what is a complete waste of time. Expensive mistake. These people should be investigated by the Dutch and Amsterdam authorities and shut down. If this were in the UK they would be closed down. AVOID AT ALL COST.
