Title says it all! I’ve done many escape films in my time and this one was by far the best. Super fun puzzles, amazing decoration and theme and cool photo and recap video at the end! The guy who hosted it was so lovely and the whole room had us laughing from start to finish. Unique and original escape room. A must do!

Escape Through The Movies

100 years ago, the Rozentheater was Amsterdam’s first megabioscoop, a 1000 seat movie palace with two balconies and a state of the art projection booth. For the roaring 20’s and beyond, the people of de Jordaan, sat spellbound in their seats while the mighty projector shined fantasy on the silver screen. Your journey will begin in the projection booth. Start the projector and enter the movies!

Reviewed By friederikepohlin - Vienna, Austria

An escape game that reaches over several floors and contains elements of classic movies and special effects. Loads of fun to play, and very exciting, even if it's just two of you (like in our case). Excellent performance by our operator Naqia, who made us feel like we were in a movie. There are some scary parts, but our operator took well care of us so we could enjoy them. Highly recommend checking it out!

You will be surrounded by real 17th century props! STEP STRAIGHT INTO THE 17th CENTURY and have your picture taken as Vermeer’s The Milkmaid, Girl with the Pearl, as Rembrandt or his son Titus, as William of Orange (by Adriaen Thomasz Key) or as many others.

You will also learn a lot about living and painting in the 17th Century but let's not forget, it's a lot of fun too! And you leave Amsterdam with a extremely valuable memory!

Reviewed By TamesJ - Amsterdam, United States

Being born and raised around the 'Zaanse Schans' and having lived in Amsterdam for more than 20 years, I was really impressed. This experience has it all; if you love Amsterdam, if you love art, if you love history, and if you love how this all came together in the 'Golden Age' of the Netherlands (17th century), than this is your thing. Add to that a great photographer, who has a very pleasant personality, loves what he's doing (which reflects in his eye for detail and how he welcomes you). Thank you Sander, for a great afternoon and really fantastic pictures. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves, and love the result!

Amsterdam Magic Show

What the huh? First there was a bunny and then, huh? Now this chicken is reading my mind, huh? Where did my date go, huh? I’m laughing my Ace off. Huh, my date is back. Amsterdam Magic Show, Things that make you go huh? Magic…for some it’s just a word…for us it’s a way of life. Take your friends, your loved ones, or yourself on our magical ride and forget the world outside (for one crazy night). We are an ensemble of magicians and illusionists. But each show is different and unique, since we invite the best inter-national magic and comedy acts to perform with us in our roaring 20’s era theater. You will be welcomed at the door with a free welcome glass of Prosecco. Make your way to your seat and relax, but not too much... mind-bending close-up magic will be performed inches from your eyes as you sip Prosecco in your seat. Time will fly by until the host announces - it's Showtime! In a 2 hour stage show, 5 or 6 of Europe's premiere magicians will take the stage to amaze, entertain and charm you. Our residents include European and word magic champions, TV magicians and we regularly book international star stage magicians as guests. Some of magic's biggest stars have appeared on our stage. After the show... the show goes on! We will supply tunes, get a drink at the bar and stay for our magical after-party. The magicians will kick back with you and share some of their most cutting edge new magic - hush-hush, after-hours and strictly off the record. So step into our magical world of ‘Huh’ and have an unforgettable evening of entertainment. It’s Amsterdam Magic Showtime!

Rocycle

Reviewed By jetsettingthew0rld - Orlando, United States

Having been to other cycle establishments in America (SoulCycle, Cyclebar, etc.), I can safely say Rocycle is just as good, if not better than its competition. The cycle staff has such an upbeat personality from the minute you enter & check-in with the staff. There's a juice bar right inside with very reasonably priced juices, smoothies, and healthy food. After my workout, I purchased The Glow, a medium juice for 4.50 and it was so refreshing after a difficult workout. My instructor this morning was Sharon and she was fabulous. She pushed everyone to be the best they could be & was very energetic. She continually got off the bike and encouraged us, which kept the mood really excited. The workout was 45 minutes and included some weight training as well that was really challenging! I'd highly recommend taking a class with Sharon as she's one of the best instructors I've ever had in my years of cycle classes. The overall facility is super clean and offers showers, towels, hairdryers & straighteners for after class. Spin shoes are provided for no additional cost as well as lockers. If you're wanting to test out Recycle or are just here for a quick holiday, sign up for their 2 classes for 18 euros. It's so worth it!!

The boom cast is so very great, they’re incredibly talented and going to watch them do improv is always a good idea. I watched tragedy plus time and cried and laughed so much. Thank you cast!!
