Amsterdam: The Upside Down & The All Out Combination Ticket

Amsterdam’s Upside Down and All Out combo puts two very different kinds of fun under one ticket. First, you enter rooms where gravity, perspective, and scale play tricks on your eyes. Then you head next door for two hours of unlimited games, from interactive darts to Dutch Sjoelen and karaoke.

I like the easy pairing of photo-friendly rooms with active group games. I also like that the ticket includes digital photo downloads, a printed welcome picture, lockers for small and medium items, and a discount on parking. The main drawback is simple: at $47 per person, this makes the most sense if you plan to use the full two hours at The All Out, not just take a few pictures and leave.

Key points to know

• The two venues are next door to each other: Start at The Upside Down on Europaboulevard 5, then walk straight into The All Out.
• The Upside Down is built for photos: Expect optical illusions, unusual room designs, a printed welcome picture, and digital photo downloads.
• The All Out gives you two hours of unlimited play: You can switch among interactive darts, shuffleboards, Dutch Sjoelen, karaoke, and a ball pit.
• Your smartphone matters: Bring it charged so you can take pictures and make full use of the photo-focused experience.
• The ticket covers more than entry: Lockers, café and shop access, and a parking discount are included.
• The format suits groups: Friends, families, and anyone who enjoys playful competition will get more from the package than a visitor seeking a quiet museum visit.

Starting at Europaboulevard 5

Your visit begins at The Upside Down Amsterdam, at Europaboulevard 5. The All Out is right next door, so you do not need to plan a second journey across the city or build in extra travel time between the two activities.

The English-speaking host or greeter helps you get started, but this is not a guided history tour. You move through the rooms at your own pace, looking for the best angle, setting up photos, and trying the interactive features. That freedom works well here because the fun comes from seeing how each space changes your sense of direction and proportion.

Bring a fully charged smartphone. The printed welcome picture is included, and you also receive digital photo downloads, but your own phone lets you take extra pictures as you go. Lockers for small and medium items are available, which is helpful when you want both hands free for photos or games.

The attraction is wheelchair accessible. Exact details about every room are not provided, so if you need specific access information for a particular installation, check with the venue before booking.

The Upside Down’s photo rooms

The first half of the ticket is about optical illusions and playful room design. You can expect decor that appears to defy gravity, with interactive spaces intended to surprise your senses. The stated aim is to create the world’s largest upside down social media experience, so this is made for pictures rather than a traditional exhibition visit.

That distinction matters. If you enjoy taking photos with unusual backgrounds, you will have plenty to work with. If you prefer paintings, artifacts, or detailed explanations of how an installation was made, this may feel light on information. The attraction asks you to participate, pose, and experiment rather than stand quietly and read.

I would allow enough time to try different angles instead of rushing from one room to the next. A picture that looks ordinary from one side can appear far more convincing from another. Your phone is therefore part of the activity, not just a way to record the day.

The rooms also give you a reason to visit with other people. One person can take the picture while another tests the illusion, then switch places. That makes the experience more social than a standard photo stop. Solo visitors can still enjoy it, but the ticket is especially well suited to couples, families, and groups of friends.

A useful practical note is that a January 9 visit had few people in the venue, which made it easier to take photographs and enjoy the rooms. That should not be treated as a promise of quiet conditions on every date, but it shows why a less busy time can improve this kind of visit. When fewer people are waiting for the same photo, you can take more care with your poses and framing.

Photos, lockers, café, and shop

The included printed welcome picture gives you a physical souvenir before you leave. Digital photo downloads add a more useful benefit, since you can keep and share the images without relying only on social media posts made during your visit.

Lockers cover small and medium items. That is a practical inclusion, especially if you are carrying a day bag or do not want belongings in your way while posing. The information does not specify the exact locker size or capacity, so avoid assuming that large luggage will fit.

You also have access to The Upside Down Café and shop. The café provides a place to pause, while the shop gives you another chance to pick up a souvenir. The attraction also mentions unique cocktails in an extraordinary bar, so you can add a drink to the outing if that appeals to you. The ticket information does not state that drinks are included, so plan to pay separately for anything you order there.

I like these small additions because they make the visit feel more complete. You are not limited to a quick walk through the rooms. You can take photos, store your things, stop for a drink, and browse before moving next door.

Moving next door to The All Out

The second part of the ticket changes the mood. The Upside Down is about visual tricks and pictures. The All Out is about two hours of unlimited games. Since the venues sit next to each other, the change is easy to manage.

You can play interactive darts, shuffleboards, Dutch Sjoelen, karaoke, and use the ball pit. The mix is broad enough to suit different personalities. Someone who does not care about singing can play darts. Someone who prefers a quieter table game can try shuffleboards or Dutch Sjoelen. The ball pit adds a silly, energetic option for people who want something less competitive.

The word unlimited matters here. You are not buying one short turn at one attraction. For the full two-hour period, you can move between the available activities and return to the games you enjoy most. That makes the package more useful for a group with mixed interests.

The schedule is also flexible in spirit. You do not have to commit the whole time to one activity. Try interactive darts, switch to a shuffleboard, then finish with karaoke or the ball pit. The information does not specify how the games are assigned or whether every activity is available without a wait, so leave room for the possibility that popular options may not be instantly open.

What makes the games worth your time

Interactive darts adds a modern twist to a familiar pub game. If your group likes friendly competition, this may become the main event. Shuffleboards offer another contest with a slower pace, while Dutch Sjoelen introduces a specifically Dutch game to the mix.

Dutch Sjoelen is played on a wooden board with sliding discs. The supplied details do not explain the rules on site, so you may need instructions from the venue or a quick introduction before starting. That small learning curve can be part of the fun, especially if nobody in your group has tried it before.

Karaoke changes the energy again. It suits people who want a shared activity rather than a score-based game, though it will depend on how comfortable your group is with singing. The ball pit is the most playful option and helps keep the package from feeling like a row of ordinary bar games.

I would not choose this ticket for a quiet afternoon. The All Out portion is social and active by design. You will get the best value if your group enjoys trying several things and does not mind a little noise, competition, and silliness.

Is $47 a fair price?

At $47 per person, the price is not a bargain for a short photo stop. The value improves when you use all parts of the package: The Upside Down, the included photo benefits, and the full two hours at The All Out.

The ticket bundles two adjacent venues, so you save the effort of arranging separate activities. The lockers, printed picture, digital downloads, café and shop access, and parking discount add practical value, though the café, cocktails, and shop purchases are not stated as included in the ticket.

For a group of friends, the price can make sense because you are paying for a full day of entertainment rather than one brief admission. For a parent buying several tickets, the total can rise quickly, so I would first ask how much your group will actually use the gaming period. If your children or friends will spend two hours switching between activities, the package has a stronger case. If the plan is only to take a few upside down photos, it is harder to justify.

The one-day validity also gives you room to fit the experience into your schedule. Check the available starting times before booking, since the ticket is valid for one day rather than for an open-ended period.

Who should book this combination?

I would recommend it most strongly for:

• Friends who enjoy group games and photo sessions
• Families looking for an activity with several different formats
• Couples who want unusual pictures and a playful date
• Visitors who like trying local-style games such as Dutch Sjoelen
• Social media users who want unusual backgrounds and downloadable photos
• Groups with different tastes, since not everyone has to play the same game

I would be more cautious if you are looking for a cultural attraction, a guided tour, or a calm indoor visit. The Upside Down offers visual entertainment, not a serious lesson in Amsterdam. The All Out adds games and party energy, not quiet reflection.

The experience is also less suitable if you do not want to use a smartphone. The attraction specifically asks you to bring a charged phone, and photography is a central part of the visit. You can still see the rooms without taking many pictures, but you would miss one of the main reasons people choose this format.

Booking details that affect your day

The meeting point is The Upside Down entrance at Europaboulevard 5 in Amsterdam. After that, The All Out is directly next door. An English-speaking host or greeter is available, and the activity is wheelchair accessible.

You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Reserve now and pay later is also available, which helps if your Amsterdam schedule is still shifting. These terms are useful for a city break, where weather, museum reservations, and train plans can change.

Parking comes with a discount, though the information does not state the final discounted price or specific parking arrangements. If you are arriving by car, confirm the details before setting out.

The experience is valid for one day, and you should check availability for the available starting times. Since you need a charged smartphone, add a portable battery if you expect to take many photos or use your phone for other plans afterward.

My verdict on the Upside Down and All Out combo

I would book this for a group that wants an easy, playful day indoors and will use the entire two-hour gaming session. The combination has a clear rhythm: unusual photo rooms first, then active games next door. The printed welcome picture, digital downloads, lockers, and parking discount make the package more useful than a simple admission ticket.

The main question is not whether the activities sound fun. It is whether you want this kind of fun. At $47, book if your group enjoys posing for photos, trying new games, singing karaoke, and making an afternoon of it. Skip it if you only want a quick photo stop or a traditional Amsterdam attraction.
