After what the Frank family went through it feels unseemly to criticize anything about the house. The crowds were bigger than I expected and this made it more difficult to to study the exhibits and get a sense of their experience. But get a sense I must have because as I approached the end my horror increased. The physical discomfort... More

Never really knew the story of Anne Frank so I really enjoyed my visit here. I found the details interesting and makes me want to read her diaries.

Interesting part of history. All of Amsterdam. To know what happened there and walk the same streets and to visit the house Ann Frank and her family hid in for over 2 years was heartbreaking. To think someone turned them in. It was difficult not to feel her anxiousness and lonliness in this house. And so dark no windows and... More

I had read Anne Frank's Diary back in my teens & knew quite a bit about World War II from my history studies. However, being in the actual hideout itself was still overwhelming & moving. There are videos & plaques all around that explain the history of the place. Lines moved orderly in the tight spaces but you do have... More

we have all heard the story but to actually be in the space where the family hid is very moving and adds a new dimension to what you already knew.

For those of you who have read diary of Ann frank ,this is. Must do. The smallness of the space and lack of sunlight make you realise what the family went through. And then juxtapose it with her very positive diary... It tells a tale of the spirit of young Ann. Buy tickets on line and avoid the long queues.... More

Well set out and information was given to present the story. We appreciated our early morning visit which was not at all crowded.

This is one of the best values in Amsterdam. Be prepared to take pictures while you are waiting in line. The houseboats on the canal and the area are beautiful.

My review is not a comment on the subject of the museum (i.e. Anne Frank's harrowing and inspiring life story) but of the museum and how it's set-up. The heart wrenching story of Anne Frank and her diary entries are brought to life as you walk through this house turned museum, but not as much as they could be. First,... More

This was extremely moving and you are allowed into every inch of the secret annex. Definitely skip the line and buy your tickets on the website in advance. It's easy to get to with public transportation and definitely worth the time. With a reserved time you walk right in.
