Tour where you don't stand still - We found this tour very nice and entertaining. Our daughter had a lot of fun, just like we did, and found it interesting.

Amazing experience - We did this activity on a rainy afternoon.
It all happens in a nightclub. You are put straight into the mood with an incredible introduction. Then, the museum can be visited for 45 minutes before returning to the track for a grand finale worthy of the name.
I really recommend this activity even if we had a waiting time of 35 minutes before returning and difficulty parking.

Great Electronic Museum - We really liked the museum. At the beginning there is a small show that lifts the mood a little. After that you can pass the time with synthesizers, simple mixers and other elements. It's really cool that there are also sound stations with relevant artists. You can spend hours there alone. At the end there is a small show that deals with the development of electronic music. It's a real shame that not all of the equipment worked perfectly. The problem probably lies in the way the guests treat them. Overall we can recommend the museum.

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!

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.

Not worth the time. - Ended up here after my girlfriend accidentally booked this instead of the Anne Frank house tour. There's no option to cancel or refund!!
We decided to go just to not waste the money we paid. That was another mistake. The place is just 1 main room with a few minutes long intro, then you wander around around 3 small side rooms for 45 minutes with toy DJ set ups, then you come back to the main room to watch a real cringy 13 minute long EDM routine that just blasts through a few seconds each of songs from different era's. Myself and my gf were thinking about leaving before it was even over.
We should have just let the money go and did something else with our time instead. Place is a rip off for what it is as well, definitely not worth more than €10 to visit even if you were really into EDM.
The only saving grace is that the staff are friendly, but thats about it.

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.

Bad museum - Got the idea through social media that it was a museum about Thunderdome and its history. That was very disappointing. Definitely not worth the money!

Negative experience - Very short, very boring. No staff helping to explain what you were looking at or where to go. Definitely not worth your money
