Eight rooms of light, music and festival culture in a one hour. AMAZE takes you from the origin of sound through a laser show, a mirror maze and other surprising rooms. This is the only experience in Amsterdam built entirely around electronic music and the closest thing to a festival the city has indoors.
AMAZE Amsterdam is located in an iconic location in Amsterdam. The place where the first illegal raves in the city were held. Once inside, you will follow a fixed route through eight diverse spaces inspired in the Dutch electronic dance culture.
Each room has its own atmosphere and theme. Some rooms are filled with powerful lasers and electronic music, while others use projections, smoke and visual illusions.
There are also rooms where you interact the installations by making your own festival light show or music beats. The combination of music, lights and digital art creates an energetic and surprising experience.
The first room we walked into felt as if we were stepping into the opening of a festival. There is nothing else in the city built entirely around electronic music, light, art installations and festival culture. The rooms move from the Origin tunnel through the mirror maze, the club, the DJ station in La La Land and the final room was my favorite, I won’t tell you so you can be surprised when you visit!
The groups are kept small (8 persons) so we felt quite comfortable. As a group we followed the orange light from one room to the other. There were two rooms where we controlled the lights and sound. I won’t be starting a new career as a DJ, but had fun trying!
For the price, the value is strong. I do appreciate that they have different deals. You get discount when buying two and four tickets. Families (two adults and kids) also get discount and of course students as well. You can also get a 15% additional discount per person when using our code: citymap15.
The location feels further than it actually is: you can take one direct bus from Centraal Station and be there in about 25 minutes. The same amount of time as going to the Rijksmuseum. The only downside is that there aren’t many other activities around the location, but you can always stay for a drink at the AMAZE(ING) bar!

Eight rooms of light, music and festival culture in a one hour. AMAZE takes you from the origin of sound through a laser show, a mirror maze and other surprising rooms. This is the only experience in Amsterdam built entirely around electronic music and the closest thing to a festival the city has indoors.
Two art shows, one extraordinary building and 325 works by the greatest painters in Dutch history. Fabrique des Lumières takes the art pieces off the museum wall and immerse you in a unique show with music that shifts from tranquil to fierce as the paintings move around you.
Moonwalkers is a 50-minute immersive experience co-created and narrated by Tom Hanks, built from thousands of NASA never seen before images. The exhibition focuses on the Apollo missions and the current Artemis programme, with interviews with active astronauts that give it a perspective that feels as much about the future as the past.
Soft light, water lilies and 150 years of Impressionism. The show follows the French painter through his life and masterpieces: the harbours of Normandy, the Seine at sunrise, the gardens of Giverny. All projected across 3,800 square meters of walls, floors and ceilings with music carefully chosen to make this a compelling experience.
Legendary footballers have walked these halls. Now it's your turn. The stadium tours takes you through the dressing rooms where the players prepare, down the tunnel they walk on match day, and into the dugouts where the most iconic moments in Ajax history were made. Besides you can see the trophy collection, the Gallery of Fame, the authentic clothing of Johan Cruijff and other international players.
A5D flight simulation that takes you across the landscapes, history and landmarks of the Netherlands through three immersive shows. The flight takes over 22 Dutch locations, with synchronised motion, wind, mist and scent effects. During the flight you’ll pass over tulip fields, the windmills of Kinderdijk, the Wadden Sea, Rotterdam’s harbor and many other iconic landscapes across the country.
An interactive experience where you can explore our country’s best-known traditions, landscapes and cultural icons through 10 immersive rooms in just over an hour. You will step inside a canal boat, cycle to music, wander through a giant tulip field and watch Dutch masterpieces come to life.
During the tour we learned some interesting facts: The palace is build on top of 13.659 wooden poles. The building has served as a palace since 1808. The Atlas statue represents Amsterdam as the middle of the world.
