I have never been to a museum and read and looked at EVERYTHING but here it is a must. I was a little perplexed when we first arrived as it is a modern building but that is only the start. I found this experience so moving and I’m so glad I visited. Seeing the house, going into the hiding place and learning about the people that lived there. It’s very well done. And it’s about so much more than the poor girl that lived there and what she went through. Definitely a must see

So lucky to get tickets for this place. Make sure you book in advance or you won’t have a hope of getting in. Having read Anne’s diary when I was younger I really wanted to visit. My teens haven’t read the diary but knew her story so I booked the tour with the 30 minute explanatory programme. This helped to set the scene and explain the background for them. Our timed tickets got us in after a short queuing period waiting outside. There are a lot of steps on the tour even before you reach the house. The actual house steps are very narrow too so be prepared with sensible shoes. I loved this museum. Lots of photos and information about the business Anne’s father ran, the family and fellow workers plus the chance to see her actual diary and the rooms she lived in for two years having to keep so quiet and still. A very thought provoking experience but very well done and at no time were there too many people to make it uncomfortable. My teens enjoyed it too. It said they preferred the Verzetsmuseum ( the resistance museum) so maybe if you don’t manage to get tickets for anne frank house you should consider going there. Do both if you get the chance, you won’t regret it!

Tickets go on sale SIX weeks prior to your visit so if you have booked a holiday in Amsterdam purchase tickets online in advance. On arrival at our designated time slot, we were not impressed with the chaotic queuing outside and the cold officious uncommunicative staff who seemed to prefer listening to their ear piece instead of converting with the public. This created confusion and queue hopping. Inside was a different story. Being inside the building and absorbing the enormity of Anne's tragic story was compelling and moving. I was pleased that people were quiet and respectful of their surroundings.

The Anne Frank house was an amazing experience. To witness her actual diary, physical space and hear the story told through visual and audio stories was incredible. Very somber. The museum was quite full of people. Make sure to get your tickets early.

It would be hard to say something that hasn’t already been said about the Anne Frank House. We have traveled all over the world visiting important WW2 museums , memorials and read numerous historical books on the subject. That said, the Anne Frank House was very important to us and we wanted to also have the pre tour presentation. I highly recommend this if you plan to go. We checked this out way in advance and knew we’d have to be online early to get tickets. No regrets at all. The Annex where the Frank family and others hid has been preserved and is something everyone should see in their lifetime. I’m grateful for the work the foundation has done and is doing on behalf of all the forgotten members of society.

What a humbling experience being able to walk through the spaces where Anne and her family lived. The museum was well done, the audio guide (free) was definitely worthwhile. You were allowed to explore many rooms of the warehouse and annex. We brought our children, age 4 and 6. The 6 year old seemed to process and understand the audio guide and exhibits, so I believe it was worthwhile for her, although I had to pick her up to better see some of the exhibits. This is a must-do in Amsterdam, just remember to reserve a time slot before you go (up to 6 weeks in advance at the time of this writing).

Best Supporting art of our trip to Amsterdam by far…. The house is very well set up for the huge numbers of tourists, recommend getting the audio recording which is included in the price . A very moving visit

AS everyone says this is a very moving experience. We took this museum in on Saturday morning before leaving on our river cruise. As most know, you must get tickets in advance. We purchased ours at 6 am 6 weeks before going. We did both the presentation and the actual tour. the presentation was very nice and led by a young woman who knew here history. this jsut added to the experience. The tour is humbling realizing what this family wentt through and what happened in the end. they have video testimony from some of the helpers but the most touching is listening to Annes father recount how he learned of his families passing. Quite an experience and something you shoudl not miss while in Amsterdam.

Really interesting. Very emotional. I visited with my husband and two children aged 7 and 13. We did the audio tour and all found it to be informative and thought provoking. The audio tour took about 45 minutes which was the right amount of time for children. Be aware the stairs into the annex are very steep.

Very moving and emotional. We realized halfway through the tour that no one was talking above a whisper. I would highly recommend it. Buy your tickets ahead of time! It is not handicap accessible though. There are steep stairs involved.
