Amsterdam: The Upside Down & The All Out Combination Ticket

Turn the world upside down in Amsterdam.

This one-day combo ticket pairs The Upside Down with The All Out games next door, so you can switch from photo magic to active play without wasting time. I especially like that you get both experiences in one pass, and I also like the photo perks, including a printed welcome picture plus digital photo downloads.

The main drawback to consider is the built-in pacing: you have unlimited play at The All Out for just 2 hours, so if you want a long, slow hangout, you may feel time-pressed.

Key highlights at a glance

• World’s largest upside-down social media setup, built for interactive optical illusions and photos
• Two hours of unlimited games at The All Out
• A mix of activities including interactive darts, shuffleboards, Dutch sjoelen, karaoke, and a ball pit
• Photo-focused extras: printed welcome picture and digital photo downloads
• A snack and break option with access to The Upside Down Café and shop
• Practical add-ons: lockers for small and medium items, plus a discount on parking

What this Amsterdam combo ticket gives you (and why that matters)

This is a simple, efficient ticket. You pay for entry to The Upside Down Amsterdam, then you also get 2 hours of unlimited gaming at The All Out right beside it. The smart part for visitors is that you are not juggling separate admissions, separate locations, or extra transportation. One area, two moods: curious and playful.

In real terms, it is good value when you want variety in a single visit. Upside Down is visually engineered for fun, and The All Out is the release valve. If you are traveling with friends, this combo also solves a common problem. Someone always wants pictures. Someone else wants games. You get both, without splitting up.

The one thing to watch is your energy level and your schedule. The ticket is valid for one day, and The All Out window is fixed at those two hours. If you plan your day loosely, you will probably feel great. If you plan it tight, you might feel rushed.

Getting there: Europaboulevard 5 and how to time it

Your meeting point for The Upside Down is Europaboulevard 5 in Amsterdam, which is the entrance to the Upside Down. The All Out is located right next to it, so you can move from one venue to the other without travel time.

To make this work smoothly, I suggest treating it like one continuous block. Do The Upside Down first, then shift to games. That order tends to fit how the experiences feel: optical illusion rooms are best while you still have patience to explore and pose, and then you finish with energetic activities.

Also, bring a charged smartphone. You will want it for taking photos, and you should plan your battery and storage early so you are not scrambling mid-visit.

The Upside Down Amsterdam: optical illusions you can interact with

The Upside Down experience is all about decor that defies gravity and rooms designed for interaction. The vibe is playful, and the whole thing is built to make you stop, look, and then laugh when your brain realizes the rules changed.

What you can expect is a walk through themed areas where the setting tricks your sense of up and down. It is not just something you watch. You move through it and react to it, so you naturally generate the kind of photos that look like you belong in a surreal scene.

Two practical extras make this easier:

• You get a printed welcome picture at The Upside Down, so you have an instant souvenir even if you are not trying to perfect every shot.
• You get digital photo downloads, which is great if you want to share right away or print later.

You’ll also find lockers for small and medium items at The Upside Down. That is a big help because you can travel lighter and focus on photos rather than carrying bags everywhere. If you plan to bring a camera bag, a larger backpack, or anything bulky, make sure it fits what the lockers are meant for.

One more value-added touch is access to the Café and shop at The Upside Down. That matters because it gives you an easy place to pause. Even a short break can keep the experience fun instead of tiring, especially if you are visiting during a busy travel day.

The bar and cocktails: a worthwhile pause between photos and games

Part of the appeal is that The Upside Down experience includes access to an extraordinary bar area. The idea is to take a breather and try unique cocktails in that unusual setting. You are not required to turn it into a long evening, but it is a nice option if you want the experience to feel like more than a quick photo stop.

I like this kind of add-on because it turns the experience into a full outing. If you are visiting with people who do not want to pose nonstop, the bar gives them something to do while you set up your next picture.

That said, keep it sensible. You still have The All Out games waiting, and karaoke, darts, and shuffle-style games are way more fun when you are fully energized.

The All Out: unlimited games for 2 focused hours

After The Upside Down, you step into The All Out for 2 hours of unlimited gaming. The big difference here is that the mood shifts from looking and posing to doing and competing. This is where the combo ticket becomes genuinely worth it, because you are getting movement and laughs right after the photo experience.

The lineup includes:

• Interactive darts
• Shuffleboards
• Dutch sjoelen
• Karaoke
• A ball pit

A practical way to think about it is that you can sample first, then commit. Because the play time is limited to two hours, I suggest you do at least one game that feels most like your group’s style early. If you wait too long, you may end up choosing between a game you want and one you already started.

Also, with karaoke and a ball pit, the experience is built for that party energy. If you want a calm, quiet activity, this is not the match. But if your group likes playful, low-stakes competition and sillier photos later, you will probably have a blast.

Price and value: is $47 fair for this combo?

At around $47 per person for a one-day combo, the value comes from doing two different experiences without paying full price twice. You are essentially bundling entry to The Upside Down plus two hours of unlimited games at The All Out.

The way I judge value here is not only the total cost, it is how much you get to actually do. Two hours of unlimited play can feel like the best part of the day if you keep moving and rotating through games. On the other hand, if you end up spending most of the two hours watching rather than playing, you might feel like the time cap is a bit restrictive.

So the best value scenario looks like this:

• You plan to explore the photo rooms without rushing.
• You finish with at least a couple of games, not just one.
• You use the lockers and photo downloads so the visit keeps paying off after you leave.

If you are traveling with a mixed group, this ticket also saves negotiation time. No one has to choose between taking photos or playing games, because both are built in.

Who this works for, and who should reconsider

This combo is ideal for:

• Groups of friends who want a fun day with both photos and action
• Visitors who like interactive spaces, not just sightseeing
• People who appreciate quirky, designed-for-photos venues
• Travelers who want an easy, next-door change of pace in Amsterdam

It might be less ideal if:

• You prefer quiet museums and long walking routes
• You want an experience with no time limits at the entertainment center
• You plan to spend most of the two hours just watching, rather than playing

One more note from actual experience style: the upside-down portion is often at its best when the space feels manageable. When you can move without crowding pressure, it is easier to stage photos and enjoy the interactive rooms at your own speed.

Tips to make your time count (photos plus games)

If you want the day to feel smooth, here are a few practical steps that fit this exact combo:

1. Charge your phone fully before you go

You are told to bring a charged smartphone, so treat that as a real requirement. You will use it.

1. Pick your pace for The Upside Down

Start by walking through at normal speed once, then go back for the best photo angles. That helps you avoid slowing down too early.

1. Use the lockers

Small and medium lockers are included at The Upside Down. Stash what you do not need, and keep your hands free for posing and quick changes.

1. Plan at least two games at The All Out

With only two hours, choose a couple of activities so you do not end up with a single highlight and leftover time.

1. Treat karaoke and the ball pit as the fun finale

If you do them earlier, you might feel more scattered. If you do them near the end, you get the best party energy while the rest of the games build momentum.

1. If you drive, take the parking discount seriously

A discount on parking is included. If you are using a car, this can cut the cost of your day.

Should you book this combo ticket?

Yes, I think you should book if you want a fun, photo-friendly experience plus real play time, and you like the idea of doing both in one place on the same day. It is also a strong choice for groups because it covers multiple personalities, from puzzle-brain curiosity to competitive games.

Skip it if you are chasing calm, slow sightseeing or if you know you will not use the two-hour unlimited gaming window. In that case, you might prefer a simpler ticket that matches your pace better.
