Attraction Noord 6+

A 5D flight ride soaring over the Netherlands.

About this venue

Step into a world where the Netherlands unfolds before your eyes at This is Holland, nestled right beside the iconic A'DAM Tower in Amsterdam-Noord. This immersive 5D 'flight' experience truly lifts you over the country's most picturesque landscapes, from the iconic windmills and vibrant tulip fields to the winding canals and dramatic coastlines. It’s a sensory delight, with wind, mist, and even a selection of scents carefully integrated to enhance the feeling of soaring through the air. For kids aged six and up, it's a genuinely thrilling and unforgettable adventure, offering a unique perspective on a flat country, while parents will appreciate the smooth, comfortable ride and the chance to see familiar landmarks from a new angle. It’s perfect for a rainy afternoon or as a highlight of your visit to Noord, offering a fun and engaging way to discover the country's beauty.

More than just a ride, This is Holland is an experience designed to captivate and educate. The ten-minute 'flight' is surprisingly engaging, with state-of-the-art technology making you feel as though you're truly flying. Children often gasp and giggle as they 'dip' over a dike or 'float' above a flower parade, while adults can relax and take in the stunning panoramic views. It's an excellent way to introduce the Netherlands to younger visitors before exploring its actual cities and countryside, providing a memorable context for what they'll see in person. The vibe is one of wonder and excitement, making it an ideal activity for families looking for something a bit different and very special.

This attraction pairs naturally with a trip across the IJ to Noord, making for a fantastic day out. After your 'flight,' you can easily explore other nearby attractions or simply enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of this up-and-coming district. It’s particularly appealing during any season, offering a climate-controlled escape when the weather isn't cooperating, or a fun, quick dive into Dutch culture before continuing your outdoor adventures. The compact nature of the experience also means it won't consume an entire day, leaving plenty of time for other discoveries.
