The timed tickets must be bought early - released 6 weeks ahead of the date! The museum is small and intimate. It is well done and progresses thru Anne's life till her end. They seem to keep the museum uncrowded which is appreciated (Van Gohg Museum hello?). It has such a large impact on your psyche considering how small the place is.

We arrived at our hotel in Amsterdam late afternoon on the 26th of August which allowed us enough time to have a meal and head over to the Anne Frank House for our allotted time slot of 6:45 - 7:00 PM. You must order your tickets online since they do not sell tickets on site. People were being turned away since they didn't know you can only purchase tickets online. This is a audio, self guided tour of the rooms where the Frank's remained in hiding for two years. Each room is filled with pictures of how it looked and rooms are identified by kitchen, bedroom and whose room it was etc. Steps are steep but so worth the effort. You can't help but be moved by what you are experiencing. The rooms are empty but again there are pictures and audio describing what was going on at the time and who the individuals are.

Softly moving, this really tells the story well. There is some amazing original material and pictures, and the whole place is paced really well. A fascinating insight and very reasonably priced. Booking essential!

Well worth a visit, very well organised and popular. If you are not fully fit and able bodied you will struggle with the steps (steep and narrow). Tragic story behind the tour of course and makes you question humans and their ability to be utter shites.

The Anne Frank house is extraordinary. Encased by a modern structure, the minute I walked into the actual house the enormity of what happened here and how the people lived was very sobering. The tour is a timed entry. Be sure to make your online reservations as soon as they are available! You will be given an audio guide that is very good. The tour encompasses the entire house, and you will find in the rooms photos, maps, and other original materials. A word of warning--the stairs are extremely steep and narrow. I'm not sure that a person with a mobility challenge could make them easily. At the end of the tour there is a small Holocaust museum along with other personal effects of the Franks. By all means, put this on your list of places to see in Amsterdam, and be sure to plan for it well in advance.

Must do experience, but sells out fast so buy tickets as soon as you can and get the ticket with the introductory tour. The woman who ran our one hour introductory tour was excellent, she is a high school teacher and told us many facts that made the tour even more meaningful. The one hour program takes places in a private room where you are seated and can see Ann Frank’s room from the courtyard. Once we were done with introductory program, we received audio tour and walked through museum on our own. Try to get a tour earlier in the day as the lines inside to go from room to room get longer as the day goes on. Use the toilets by the audio your handout area before you start because it is hard to get to the bathroom once going through house. You will need to climb stairs on this tour. It was well worth the money and I highly recommend.

After reading the Anne Frank book as a child I thought that I knew what I would see. Not even close. To walk through the small dark rooms where this girl and family hid for two years is a gut punch. Incomprehensible the fear that they lived in. The organization that cares for this has done a great job preserving and educating. If you plan to go you must get your tickets well in advance from their site. You also need to be able to walk multiple extremely narrow and steep stairs

Loved the 30 minute introduction and self guided audio tour. Feel honored and so fortunate to experience this in Amsterdam. Be sure to purchase tickets 6 weeks prior to visit. Quite a few stairs but everyone takes it slowly. Highly recommend.

The audio commentary was excellent, as was the way the museum was set out and the fact the signs were in English as well. It was really strange going from the new part into the actual rooms Anne Frank hid in and to see and feel how small they were. The model recreations really brought it together. A very poignant visit.

Worthwhile visit. Interesting to find out where (and how) the family hid for two years. Must book in advance, however, if it is booked up 4-6 weeks ahead keep checking the website as more spaces appear to be released around one week ahead. Audio guide was very informative if sometimes a little disjointed as you had to be near the numbered sensor or walk under a sensor to get it to start. There isn’t always much space to move around given the size of the annex and the number of people!
