About this activity
Editor's Note
Look, I've spent a decade chasing "authentic" travel experiences, tracking RevPAR trends and watching leads turn into bookings for standard museum tours, but sometimes the industry takes itself way too seriously. We’re so obsessed with "cultural immersion" that we forget that sometimes, people just want to jump into a giant pit of plastic balls and scream. WONDR isn't trying to be the Rijksmuseum, and honestly? Thank god for that. It’s a high-energy, unapologetic break from the 'adulting' we’re all supposed to be so good at. While some critics might call it an Instagram trap, I see it as a masterclass in experiential design. If you can leave this place without at least a bit of a smile on your face, you might want to check your pulse. After all, life is too short to not sing karaoke in a room full of disco balls once in a while.
About the Tour
If you’re tired of the same old walking tours and historical plaques, Amsterdam has a vibrant curveball for you. The WONDR Experience has leveled up with a SpongeBob Special that brings Bikini Bottom vibes to the heart of the city. This isn't just a gallery; it’s an interactive playground designed to shatter the "don't touch" rule of traditional tourism.
What’s waiting for you inside:
- The Ultimate Ball Pit: Take a plunge into Europe’s largest ball pit. It’s exactly as cathartic as it sounds.
- Disco Fever: Dance under the light of a thousand disco balls—perfect for those who live for the shimmer.
- Interactive Fun: From claw machines that actually give you a fair shot to private karaoke booths where you can belt out your favorite hits.
- High-Tech Memories: Forget fumbling with your phone. WONDR uses an innovative camera system throughout the venue to snap high-quality photos and GIFs of your best moments, which are mailed directly to you.
Once you’ve exhausted your energy, you can head over to the Galaxy Café. It’s the perfect spot to decompress with "glitzy" cocktails and snacks that are just as colorful as the exhibits you just walked through. Whether you're traveling with family or a group of friends who refuse to grow up, this is the spot to let loose.
