Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam

More than 6,000 different kinds of plants Plantage Middenlaan 2a
Amsterdam 1018 DD
+31 (0)20 625 9021
http://www.hortus-botanicus.nl
info@dehortus.nl The Hortus Botanicus, created in 1682, has more than 6,000 different kinds of plants. There is a huge, almost futuristic, three-climate greenhouse with the flora of three different climates - tropics, subtropics and desert. Apart from this, there is a palm house with 300-year-old trees. During the autumn half-term holidays there is a Kabouterpad (dwarf path), a sort of hunt for children around 10 years old. On Wednesday afternoons and all day Saturday, children between 6 and 12 years old can join the Openluchtatelier (open air workshop) for drawing and painting. See website for complete list of amenities.

info@e-NEMO.nl The Science Center NEMO, lies in the heart of Amsterdam. Discover technological and scientific developments in the worlds of biomedicine and information technology. Even highbrows may find difficulty discerning between fact and fantasy. An added bonus is a footbridge that ascends from the quayside of the building to a rooftop terrace that offers great views of the city.
