Have you seen Nemo? And no, I don't mean the clownfish, I mean the Science Center in Amsterdam. I've been there once before and went again last Thursday with two friends. And I still like it.
In Nemo you can do stuff in order to learn about science and technology. You can stand in a soap bubble to, well, learn about bubbles. You can do tests to see if you're able to recognize a thief, or to see what your favourite music can tell about you. You can have a dance battle at the dance machine or do a driving simulation that pretends you're drunk (I went to fast, ignored a light, crashed twice and drove on the verge).
A few times a day they also show an awesome chain reaction to explain potential and kinetic energy and more. There's also a lab in which you can do several experiments, an exhibition on teenagers, or as the site says, 'an exhibition about the head, the heart and the hormones'. Oh, and beware of the creepy Elektra, the 'largest humanoid robot in Europe' at the You, Me, Electricity exhibition.
Tip: have your lunchbreak on the roof, on which you can see a part of Amsterdam and find information about many buildings and places in Amsterdam. Great view and a lovely place to sit.
I had loads of fun and I recommend it to everyone who likes and dislikes science, because this is probably one of the few museums where you're not just allowed to touch things and do stuff, but just have to.
