Description

Alright, I’m about to take you on a wild ride through one of Amsterdam’s coolest attractions – This is Holland! Now, I know what you’re thinking:” Another tourist trap?” But hold your horses, ’cause this isn’t your average theme park experience.

Picture this: you’re suspended in mid-air, feet dangling, wind rushing through your hair as you soar over the breathtaking Dutch landscapes. No, you’re not dreaming (or hallucinating from too many” special” brownies). This is the magic of This is Holland’s 5D flight experience!

When I first heard about this place, I was skeptical. I mean, how exciting can a flight simulator really be? But boy, was I in for a surprise! This isn’t your grandpa’s flight simulator, folks. We’re talking state-of-the-art technology that’ll make you forget you’re not actually piloting a plane over the tulip fields.

The whole shebang is divided into four shows, with the pièce de résistance being the 9-minute Ultimate 5D Flight Experience. Trust me, those 9 minutes will fly by faster than you can say” Gouda cheese” ! And speaking of cheese, you’ll get a taste (well, not literally) of all the Dutch must-see locations without ever leaving your seat.

Now, I must warn you – if you’re expecting a relaxing ride, you might want to think again. This experience is more exhilarating than a bike ride through Amsterdam during rush hour! But don’t worry, you’re in good hands. Just remember to breathe, yeah?

Key Features

Alright, let’s break down what makes This is Holland more awesome than a double-decker stroopwafel:

1. The Ultimate 5D Flight Experience: This bad boy is the main event, folks. It’s not just 3D, not just 4D, but 5D! What’s the fifth dimension, you ask? Well, I’m pretty sure it’s pure awesomeness. You’ll feel like you’re actually flying over the Netherlands, complete with wind in your face and that swoopy feeling in your stomach.

2. Pre-shows: Before you take to the skies, you’ll get a crash course (poor choice of words? ) in Dutch history and geography. Now, I know what you’re thinking -” Booooring!” But hold up! These shows are actually pretty darn entertaining. They’re in Dutch with English subtitles, so you can practice your Dutch while you’re at it. Who knows, by the end of it, you might be able to order a beer in Dutch! (Okay, maybe not, but a guy can dream, right? )

3. Sensory Overload (in a good way): This isn’t just a visual experience, my friends. We’re talking sounds, smells, and sensations that’ll make you forget you’re sitting in a theater in Amsterdam. You might even catch a whiff of those famous Dutch flowers!

4. Accessibility: Good news for all you thrill-seekers out there – This is Holland is wheelchair accessible. So everyone can get in on the action!

5. Photo Ops: Let’s be real, if you didn’t post it on Instagram, did it even happen? This is Holland’s got you covered with some prime photo opportunities. Just try not to drop your phone while you’re” flying” !

Best Time to Visit

Now, here’s the million-dollar question: when should you grace This is Holland with your presence? Well, the beauty of this attraction is that it’s open year-round. That’s right, come rain or shine (and let’s face it, in Amsterdam, it’s usually rain), you can get your flight on!

But if you’re looking for the inside scoop, here’s my two cents:

Weekdays are your best bet if you want to avoid the crowds. Nothing ruins the illusion of soaring over empty Dutch landscapes quite like a bunch of tourists elbowing you for the best view.

If you’re visiting Amsterdam during peak tourist season (summer months and around holidays), try to book your This is Holland experience for early morning or later in the evening. Trust me, you don’t want to spend half your day queuing when you could be out there exploring the real Amsterdam!

Winter can actually be a great time to visit. Picture this: it’s cold and gloomy outside, but you’re warm and cozy,” flying” over sun-drenched Dutch landscapes. It’s like a mini vacation within your vacation!

And here’s a pro tip: check their website for any special events or themed experiences. Sometimes they spice things up with seasonal content, and you don’t want to miss out on that!

How to Get There

Alright, navigating Amsterdam can be trickier than pronouncing” Scheveningen” after a few Heinekens, but fear not! Getting to This is Holland is easier than you might think.

First things first, This is Holland is located in Amsterdam Noord, just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the city center. Here’s how to get there without ending up in Rotterdam:

1. By Ferry: This is my personal favorite way to get there. Head to Amsterdam Centraal Station and look for the free ferry service to Buiksloterweg. It’s a short and sweet ride across the IJ river, and you get some bonus sightseeing thrown in! Once you’re across, it’s about a 10-minute walk to This is Holland.

2. By Bus: If you’re not feeling the maritime vibes, you can catch bus 391 or 394 from Amsterdam Centraal Station. Get off at the” Klaprozenweg” stop, and you’re just a short walk away.

3. By Car: Got wheels? Lucky you! There’s parking available at This is Holland, but remember, driving in Amsterdam can be more nerve-wracking than the 5D flight experience itself. Use your GPS and look for Overhoeksplein 51.

4. By Bike: Feeling extra Dutch? Rent a bike and pedal your way there! Just follow the signs to Amsterdam Noord, cross the river using the cycle path on the bridge, and voila!

Remember, whichever way you choose, give yourself plenty of time. You don’t want to miss your flight because you got distracted by a cute canal-side cafe (been there, done that)!

Tips for Visiting

Alright, future high-flyers, listen up! Here are some insider tips to make your This is Holland experience smoother than Dutch chocolate:

1. Book Online: Booking online not only saves you money, but it also guarantees your spot. Nothing’s worse than showing up and finding out they’re fully booked. Plus, you can reschedule for free if your plans change. Flexibility, baby!

2. Arrive Early: Give yourself at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time slot. This gives you time to find the place, use the restroom, and maybe grab a quick selfie before your “flight”.

3. Bring Your Glasses: If you wear glasses, don’t forget ’em! The 3D effects won’t work as well if you can’t see properly. And no, squinting won’t help.

4. Dress Comfortably: You’re not actually flying, but you’ll feel like you are. Wear something comfy that allows for movement. Leave the stilettos at home, ladies!

5. Empty Your Pockets: You don’t want your keys or phone flying out during the experience. Use the lockers provided to store your stuff.

6. Don’t Eat a Heavy Meal Before: The movements can be quite realistic. If you’ve just demolished a plate of bitterballen, you might regret it.

7. Bring Your Camera: But remember, no photos or videos during the actual flight experience. Save your shooting for before and after.

8. Stay for the Entire Experience: The pre-shows might seem skippable, but they add context to your flight. Plus, they’re pretty entertaining!

9. Ask Questions: The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. If you’re curious about something, just ask!

10. Combine with Other Attractions: This is Holland is part of the Amsterdam City Card. If you’re planning to visit multiple attractions, this could save you some euros.

11. Check Height Requirements: If you’re traveling with kiddos, check the height requirements beforehand to avoid disappointment.

12. Use the Restroom Before: Once you’re strapped in, there’s no pausing the experience for a bathroom break!
