Amsterdam: The Upside Down & The All Out Combination Ticket
A room where gravity gets pranked. This combo ticket pairs The Upside Down with 2 hours of unlimited games at The All Out, so you get laughs plus serious photo moments. I like the built-in studio feel of The Upside Down, especially the printed welcome picture and the digital downloads, and I like the mix of active games at The All Out. One thing to consider is that the fun schedule is time-based at The All Out, so you’ll want to plan your order and pace.
The good news is the two places sit right next to each other at Europaboulevard 5, so you are not wasting your day with travel time. At The Upside Down, you also get lockers for small and medium items, plus access to the café and shop. If you hate lines or tight turnaround, go in with a relaxed mindset and aim to start at a clear time slot.
You’ll also get a simple but important heads-up: bring a charged smartphone. That matters because you’re getting digital photo downloads, and having your phone ready keeps the experience smooth. With a rating of 4 from 58 reviews, the overall vibe is consistently “good fun,” and the most praised moments center on photos and enjoying it without too much crowd pressure.

Amsterdam’s upside-down fun starts at Europaboulevard 5

This is one of those Amsterdam days that feels easy, because logistics are built in. Your entry begins at The Upside Down, at Europaboulevard 5 in Amsterdam. The All Out is right next door, so you can switch gears from photo chaos to game chaos without a commute.
That location setup is more than convenience. It helps you control the flow of your day. If you want more photos first, do that. If you want games first, you can still get there quickly.
The host or greeter is listed as English, which is helpful if you want quick directions or a reminder of how the photo and game timing works. And the venues are wheelchair accessible, which matters because optical illusion fun should be for everyone, not just people who can power through stairs or awkward layouts.
Two venues, one ticket: how the combo makes sense

The ticket is designed like a one-day “double feature.” You get entry to The Upside Down, then you also get a fixed window of unlimited gaming at The All Out for two hours.
Why this works well: you are not choosing between two different kinds of fun. The Upside Down is about visual trickery, movement, and playful posing. The All Out is about doing, competing, singing, and laughing with friends in a louder, more interactive setting.
So instead of a typical museum day where you stare and move on, you get a day where you can actually participate. And because the two venues are side by side, you can shift from “photo mode” to “game mode” when your energy changes.
Inside The Upside Down: gravity-bending rooms and instant photo wins

The Upside Down experience is built around optical illusions and rooms where décor defies gravity. The whole point is to make your brain second-guess what it sees, while giving you clear moments to pose, frame, and shoot.
You’ll explore interactive spaces where the decor and setups encourage you to move around. That’s the difference between seeing a trick and getting pulled into it. Here, you are part of the illusion, so your photos actually become the story.
Two details matter because they reduce stress and boost results:
- You receive a printed welcome picture at The Upside Down, which gives you an easy keepsake right away.
- You also get digital photo downloads, so your phone photo session can pay off later without you chasing files in the moment.
I’d treat The Upside Down like your warm-up lap. Give yourself enough time to walk slowly, reposition for better angles, and try a few poses you would not bother with elsewhere.
Also, don’t underestimate how much you can benefit from being just a bit strategic with your photos. Optical illusion rooms are fun, but the best shots come when you’re not rushing and when you can adjust your framing.
Lockers, café time, and photo downloads that keep your day flexible

A small but useful inclusion: lockers for small and medium items at The Upside Down. That’s handy if you bring a jacket, a backpack, or anything you don’t want to balance while you’re posing.
You also get access to The Upside Down Café and shop. That means you are not forced to bolt between photo rooms and the next venue. If you need a breather, or you want a drink before games, this space helps you keep the day comfortable.
There’s also a discount on parking listed as part of the included perks. That matters if you are arriving by car or renting, because Amsterdam parking can be pricey. Even if you don’t drive, it’s a sign the operator is thinking about real-world logistics.
When it comes to photos, the digital photo downloads are the practical half of the upside down promise. You are not just leaving with images captured on a phone. You’re set up to get downloads afterward, which makes it easier to share and save without extra hassle.
The All Out in two hours: unlimited games with a party feel

After The Upside Down, you’re heading to The All Out, which is right next door. Your ticket covers 2 hours of unlimited gaming there, so once you enter, you can rotate through activities without counting every match.
Here’s what you can play:
- Interactive darts
- Shuffleboards
- Dutch sjoelen
- Karaoke
- A ball pit
That list is the charm of The All Out. It’s not just one style of game. You get a mix of skill games and goofy party energy, which helps if you’re traveling with people who have different tastes.
Practical tip: karaoke and the ball pit can turn into “everyone wants a turn” zones. If your group has a singer, start with karaoke earlier in the two hours so you don’t end up waiting for a turn later. Same idea with the ball pit, because that’s usually the first place people gravitate toward for photos and laughter.
If you like friendly competition, interactive darts and shuffleboard give you clear scoring moments. Dutch sjoelen is a specific style of game that feels very Netherlands-coded, and it’s a great choice if you want something a little different from the standard arcade line-up.
The bar and cocktails: where the fun goes when you pause

The experience description calls out an extraordinary bar and unique cocktails. That matters because games can be active, and then you want a break that still feels connected to the mood.
A bar stop also helps you reset between activities. Instead of forcing straight-game nonstop, you can regroup, laugh about the last round, and decide what to try next.
I’d use the bar like a timer tool. If you notice your energy dipping, pause for a drink, then jump back in when you feel ready. With a fixed two-hour gaming window, that kind of pacing keeps you from feeling rushed.
Price and value: is $47 a smart deal for your Amsterdam day?

At $47 per person, the value comes from the fact that you’re paying once for two different experiences in one location cluster. You’re not just buying entry into a photo attraction. You’re also getting a dedicated two-hour block of unlimited play at a second venue.
Think about what you actually receive:
- Entry into The Upside Down
- Locker access for small and medium items
- Printed welcome picture
- Digital photo downloads
- Access to the café and shop
- Discount on parking
- Two hours of unlimited games at The All Out
That bundled approach can feel very efficient if you’re visiting with friends, or if you want something memorable that isn’t just “walk around and look.” It’s also good for solo travelers who like activities that naturally create interaction, since the games and karaoke pull you into the social side.
The only time the value feels weaker is if you’re the kind of traveler who prefers quiet, slow sights and hates time limits. The All Out is built for action, and the game time is capped at two hours. If that sounds stressful, adjust your expectations or plan your day with buffer time.
Who this combo ticket is best for (and who might skip it)

This ticket is a great fit if you want:
- A photo-friendly experience that’s playful, not precious
- Interactive games that work for groups or mixed skill levels
- A day plan with clear boundaries, instead of an open-ended schedule
- A mix of silly fun (ball pit, karaoke) and competitive fun (darts, shuffleboard)
It’s also a strong choice if you’re visiting Amsterdam and want something different from the classic canal-and-museum rhythm. This is more like “Amsterdam nightlife energy,” just earlier and packaged into a family-friendly format.
If you’re someone who gets overstimulated by loud, crowded spaces, or you want a very calm day, you might feel the energy more than you’d like. The good strategy then is to start earlier and move at a relaxed pace, so you control how the day feels.
Best timing and what to bring for smooth photos and games

You don’t have to be a professional photographer here, but you do benefit from preparation. Bring a charged smartphone, because you’ll want to use it for photos and for the digital photo download workflow.
Also, keep your bags light. Even with lockers available, you will enjoy the upside down rooms more if you’re not constantly adjusting straps or trying to hold onto things while you pose.
For better photo results, aim for a quieter moment. Crowds can change the pace of photo taking, because you need space to reposition and frame shots. The upside down experience is designed for that “step, pose, reset” rhythm, so a little breathing room makes it easier.
Finally, plan your order. I like doing The Upside Down first, then games. It gives you a clear start, and you’re already in the playful mood when you hit The All Out.
Should you book this Amsterdam combo ticket?
Yes, if you want an active, photo-forward Amsterdam day with built-in fun. The combo makes sense because you’re getting two distinct styles of entertainment in one easy location, plus practical inclusions like lockers and photo downloads.
Book it especially if your group includes people who want different things. Some want photos, some want games, and both crowds get satisfied fast.
I’d think twice only if you hate time windows or you prefer quiet sightseeing. This ticket is designed for motion, interaction, and playful noise. If that sounds like your kind of day, go for it. If not, you’ll feel the time pressure.
