Anne Frank House Review

Very busy however it's worth it! Definitely visit if you get the opportunity.

Can get fairly busy but great place to reflect and remember

Very interesting house, rooms still as they were in WW2.Pre book well in advance as is very popular

Really enjoyed the experience and was very touching, a true eye opener of what it was really like and must for anyone
Highly recommend

Didn't get inside but as a person who loves literature, I am in love with her story.

Totally immersive 45 minutes to an hour. Really informative.

This was probably one of my favourite museums in Amsterdam. You're not allowed to take pictures when you're talking through the house though. The way they structured the audio tour really helped put things in perspective. We went early in the morning 1030-11 time slot) and it was already very busy and some rooms we're packed with people. Keep checking the website even if it looks like all the tickets are sold out. I checked a month before we were planning on going and the website had said that there were no tickets left, but when we checked again 1-2 weeks prior, there were time slots open!

An amazing museum! Gives you such an insight into the war as well as the story of Anne Frank

Although I knew the basic story of Anne Frank's life I found this eye opening. We opted for the option with a 20/30 minute talk before the museum tour and thought this put a lot of what was on display in to perspective. The electronic audio tour worked well and I felt I learned from this experience. No photos allowed inside but we were allowed to take some at the talk before hand.

fantastic attraction...so informative and interesting. Very organised admission process.

An absolute must when your in Amsterdam. Try and book online but other wise just queue and go see this one. It's worth it!

This place is amazing I was so touched by the story. It was so interesting and the audio guides really added to the experience. The only pain was queueing online for the tickets. But over all it was phenomenal I would definitely recommend it!

This was a fantastic experience. we really love to going there. we got there early and there was no queue we walk straight in but the queue was around the block when we got out. definitely recommend going.

Moving experience. Talk worth listening to. Very slow progress through house when we were there slightly spoilt overall experience and prevented 5 stars.

Wow! Only wish we could access the attic. Otherwise, wow! Unreal

History can teach us. This place is an absolute must to visit.

This is about Anne Frank who tried to escape from the clutches of nazis during WW II. More than the house it is her story (told through a dairy) which is famous. I feel pity for her but cannot understand the concept of a dedicated museum for her.

We'll worth visiting. Tickets need to be purchased well in advance in order to avoid long queues. We were able to get tickets which includes an introductory talk (which was excellent) and museum entry. Very informative and well presented piece of history.

Such an incredibly powerful and well-done museum about the life of Anne Frank and her family. The day we went was rainy and cold but the tour was still completely packed and we could only inch along through each room with our audio guides because there were so many people. Even the crowds didn t take away from this experience however.
Be warned: most tickets sell out weeks or months in advance and are only available online, so book early! However, the Anne frank house also keeps a small number of tickets available that they release online on the morning of the tour. This is how we got our tickets because our Amsterdam trip was last minute, but this option sells out almost immediately and you have to be ready online when they become available.

Well worth the visit. We did the audio assisted tour which provided plenty of information and live voice recordings. Very helpful staff. Book well in advance and go. early

This was very informative. It was touching to hear and read her words describing her hopes and dreams and the reality of her time in hiding.

A wonderful museum, the guided visit with the portable audio systems immerses us in the Anne Frank's history.

Amazing. Well worth the visit.

CAUTION: 9am-3.30pm requires online booking.
Walk-in available 3.30pm - 9.00pm, but expect long queues

Such a moving experience. Very well done. Make sure to purchase advanced tickets other wise you can wait in line for hours.

Fantastic experience, highly recommended, no photos allowed from inside but sneaked a little 1 on the way out,

Very well maintained. Excellent presentation of facts.

Very interesting museum in the centre of Amsterdam. The tickets must be booked really in advance online because it is one of the most requested attractions. There is not a physical place where it is possible to buy tickets right there. My gf and I also took part in the introduction lesson and it is really useful, especially if you have never read the diary of Anne Frank or if you don't remember quite well the role of the Netherlands in the WW2. At the end of the visit, it is possible to go to the shop, where you can buy the diary of Anne Frank in different languages and also graphic novel or postcards. In our opinion, it is really worth a visit!

Get your tickets in advance online. They don't have a box office.

Very moving. You are left with a sense that what happened must never happen again...but you fear it will. Anne Frank epitomises the tragedy which the Nazis inflicted on the world. She could've been someone that contributed so much. So how many more were there like her?

Very moving place - most shocking to me was how dark the rooms were. Get your tickets in advance online, they do not sell them at the front until 3:30pm.

Fantastically made museum and an eerie feeling walking through it.

Wanted to go here for a long time. I didn't realise how busy it would be though! I went on a Friday at around 2.30pm and ended up queuing for 2 hours. You might want to pre book tickets instead. It was a great experience thought. Very moving. Would definitely recommend.

Get tickets online two months in advance to save the date. If you wait til the last minute chances are, you may not find tickets available. The only pic I was able to take exiting the house. Pics are not allowed inside.

Very touching. Made me want to read the book again.

Incredibly moving attraction. It is very well organized. I wish I had spent more time there. Only issue is that they should make it clear you can check your bag without losing your spot in line on the way in.

Great museum. Small and intimate, very informative and makes you think. Love that coat is relatively low and cost for kids 0-9 is free. Truely a great location that accomplishes everything a museum should. Make the time when in Amsterdam!

Very comprehensive in story and substance. The only issue was how crowded it was iin what I would have called non-tourist time.

Such a great experience. I read her diary and going there and seeing it in person really put things into perspective. It's a very emotional story.

It's the exact place where Anne Frank lived her life during those dark Nazi days. War is never good neither a choice of general public except a few terrible leaders which we as laymen never really understood who, what or how they so called legitimately got there.

If you read the painful autobiography, visiting this place and going the whole tour might lead you to shed a tear or two. Its been renovated so you can only imagine how it was back then.

If you are in Amsterdam, don't miss it. It is very crowded, book really early. I'll recommend but leave the entire experience to you~

Never forget why the Free world must keep fascist rulers in check

Absolutely worth the time to visit. Incredibly moving to see where Anne and her family lived during the war and to understand the challenges they faced. Be sure to order tickets online will in advance or you will have to take you chances waiting in line in the afternoon to get in.

A thought provoking and moving experience. Go early and enjoy smaller queues. Narrow and steep steps which may be difficult for some.

A beautiful memorial. Very well done. The audio tour is excellent and it was very moving to tour the Annex. Make sure to get tickets ahead of time online.

A sobering experience. To relive such a scary and uncertain place in time. Beautifully preserved an honourable reminder of grimmer times.

Highlight of my trip to Amsterdam. It is a must see. Book tickets online in advance. They sellout quick. The ticket is purchased for a specific time and you are not allowed to get into line until the time on your ticket so no use in coming early.

A powerful experience. Make sure to buy tickets in advance.

Tix sold out days before the current date. Can only get tix online not at museum. Needs to reserve several days in adcance NOT the same day

I heard lot about Anne Frank s house....but cudnt visit coz we need prior booking .....had no idea ....but they always keep 20%tickets on hold....which u can get frm website it self if u r enough luck....all u have to do is open website before 9 o clock morning...try to register they give access for 30 minutes...u may get online ticket n entry on same day.

A must visit for tourists but be aware of queues. Even at quiet times you will he queing for a while.

Good organisation. Entry cards are limited, but it is good that they are, so it doesn't get too crowded. And the museum and house is very moving.

The Anne Frank house was amazing and very emotional. You would feel as if you're taking a trip back in time, feeling helpless as you hear and witness the horrible things the holocaust caused for the jews living in Holland at that time.

Really great experience but emotional. Definitely worth the visit

I wasn't prepared for the emotional onslaught I felt afterwards. It was terrifying entering the bookcase yet intriguing. It is well worth booking your tickets online as there was a queue of 100+ people for the majority of the day. We went for the multimedia package and it did not disappoint! Great experience all round.

That we are able to see this is absolutely great! I expected this much smaller

A must do if in Amsterdam.. Book in advance the tour is in high demand

Wonderful Museum, sad story. Every young person today should become familiar with Anne's book.

Amazing place reminds me how valuable the life is. I almost cried when I heard her story. Everyone should buy a ticket with speech, it makes people understand more about Anna and her life. But u must to book it online before your trip. Bc it is only chance to get it.

It is a place that you must visit (of course, first know the story to could enjoy the experience). You have to buy the tickets with a lot of anticipation. However, you could be checking during the day (the same day that you want to visit), and you will find in an specific hour.

It is one of the best experiences during our visit to Amsterdam. The audio guide, transcripts and the exhibits were so good that it takes us to that period.

Don't ever never let the history be repeated! Learn from the history!

My favorite museum in Amsterdam.
Too bad last time I went they admitted more guests than the "comfortable walking" capacity.

Must visit place for any tourist to learn more about the holocaust.

Very interesting place to visit, you can go round the side and take pictures at the actual house without entering, however be warned there is A LOT of tourists here. Long queues, tickets only available to buy online which we found to be a big hassle with spotty Roaming signal. We were 26th in the queue on the website to just buy tickets!
Overall the experience was good, but be prepared to take a lot of time to actually be able to get in.

Amazing experience. Experienced the hardships jews went through. Its sad to see how Nazi oppression affected so many people. I pray to God that peace prevails always and human race remains above racial and religious discreminations.

Very powerful and emotional. I would highly recommend.

Not what I was expecting. Very touristy! I did love their little personal tour guide system they use. Make sure you buy tickets on line and in advance. It gets crazy busy and they only let in so many people at certain intervals.

Must visit if in Amsterdam. The place and experience will give you goosebumps.

Could feel goosebumps walking, reading and hearing the story. Great experience

First tip: buy tickets two months in advance. Second tip: buy tickets two months in advance. But let s say you didn t. There is no line anymore to wait for entrance. There are paid bouncers to make sure that the plaza in front of the museum entrance is kept clear, so don t try to ask visitors if they happen to have a spare ticket.

You CAN try to get same day tickets, but it s all very confusing. Here s what the customer service said:
Last minute tickets are released on our website strictly starting at 9:00 AM.

Due to high demand there is a lot of traffic on our website at this time. You might therefore be put in a queue to reach the actual site where you will see availability of tickets. A lot of people will therefore start visiting the website a few minutes before 9:00 AM.

However, you can only stay on the website for a limited amount of time before your session expires, which usually happens after around 15 minutes of inactivity. It is therefore no use to enter the queue before 8:45 AM.

Result: You can try to get online and you will see the queue is very long even at 8:30 a.m. some mornings. I honestly thought the tickets were released before 9 a.m. But according to the information from the staff, it seems that a bit of timing and luck are needed. It s still a bit of a mystery how anyone manages to secure tickets on the day of, but good luck.

Amazing to see the place that Anne Frank was hidden in. If you've read the diary of Anne Frank then you need to see this place!

Yes, there will be a long wait. If the queue stretches to the other side of the cathedral/church then you're in for a 2.5 hour wait. Worth it. Queuing starts around 3. Museum stays open till 10.

Bad experience for me.
I had a heavy back pack when I arrived and was forced to carry it in front of me for the whole visit.
No alternative was offered (lockers)
I felt discriminated and had a bad time.
I understand the idea that people with bag on their back would be hitting other clients but this would happen only in the few crowed areas and I think was people are educated enough to realise when their back pack is annoying and when it is not. I personnaly take a backpack in the busy London tube almost every day
