Amsterdam: The Upside Down & The All Out Combination Ticket

I like this ticket because it stacks The Upside Down room-by-room optical illusions with a very practical add-on: a set two hours of unlimited gaming at The All Out right next door. You get the kind of photos that feel effortless (welcome picture plus digital downloads), then you roll right into interactive play like darts, shuffleboards, Dutch sjoelen, karaoke, and a ball pit.

One thing to consider is pacing. The All Out portion is limited to 2 hours, so if you want extra time taking photos in the upside down rooms, plan your order to avoid feeling rushed.

Key things to know before you go

• The world’s largest upside down social media experience, with interactive, gravity-defying rooms
• A printed welcome picture plus digital photo downloads for your memories
• Two hours unlimited games at The All Out, including interactive darts, shuffleboard, Dutch sjoelen, karaoke, and a ball pit
• The Upside Down Café and shop access, so you are not stuck just wandering rooms
• A bar with unique cocktails at The All Out, good for downtime between games

Why this combo ticket makes sense in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is excellent for slow canal walks, museums, and long meals. But this kind of ticket is for a different mood, the fun, energetic break where you do something silly in public and leave with a camera roll full of optical illusions.

This pass is also convenient. The two experiences are located right next to each other at Europaboulevard 5. That matters because travel time eats the day fast. Here, you can plan one focused block with minimal logistical friction, then still have energy for the rest of your day.

The best part, in my view, is the pairing. The Upside Down is about visual trickery and interactive rooms. The All Out is about moving, laughing, and playing games side-by-side with friends. Together, they cover both “take photos” and “actually do stuff.”

Getting to Europaboulevard 5, and how to structure your day

You meet at Europaboulevard 5, at the entrance to The Upside Down. Since The All Out sits right next to it, you are basically doing a same-area double feature.

If you are the type who wants great photos, start with The Upside Down first. The rooms are optical-illusion heavy, and that means your best shots often come from taking time to figure out angles. Once you head into The All Out, you have a clear clock running for the games window.

A simple flow works well:

1. Use your time in The Upside Down for photos, exploring the interactive upside down rooms, and grabbing any printed welcome picture you receive on entry.
2. Transition to The All Out for the full 2 hours of unlimited games, which keeps your energy high and avoids the problem of finishing too late.

Also, bring a charged smartphone. You will want it for the practical photo part, plus it is what you will likely use day-of while you are moving between rooms and activities.

The Upside Down: optical illusion rooms that make you look great fast

The Upside Down is built around the idea that decor defies gravity. The interactive part is important. You are not just walking past walls that look strange, you are in rooms designed to make you react, pose, and experiment.

This is the kind of attraction where your brain gets tickled because your eyes expect one thing and your surroundings do another. That mismatch is exactly what makes it fun. You will likely end up trying several poses because each angle changes the effect.

What I like most about this section is the mix of structure and freedom:

• You get guidance enough to know where to start.
• Then the rooms keep you busy because they are designed to surprise you as you walk through.

You also get some built-in memory support. The ticket includes a printed welcome picture at The Upside Down and digital photo downloads afterward. That is helpful if you are traveling with people who want photos but do not want to manage camera settings all day.

Don’t overlook the café and shop

Your pass includes access to the Café and shop at The Upside Down. That sounds small, but it is a quality-of-life bonus. After a few rooms of visual trickery, you may want a breather where you can reset without leaving the area.

If you are traveling with kids or with a group that gets restless, the café and shop time can be a natural pause. You can regroup, snack, and plan the next part of the day.

The All Out: two hours of unlimited games, no waiting for a turn

Right beside The Upside Down, The All Out gives you 2 hours of unlimited gaming. That is the value driver here. In a lot of attractions, you pay per activity, then you hesitate because every choice feels like an extra cost. Unlimited time changes that psychology. You can try something different without doing math in your head.

The games listed are also broad enough that groups stay engaged:

• Interactive Darts
• Shuffleboards
• Dutch Sjoelen
• Karaoke
• Ball pit

Dutch sjoelen is the one that may feel most culturally specific. It is listed as part of the lineup here, so if you want an activity that feels more tied to the Netherlands than the typical arcade games, that is your clue.

Karaoke adds the social layer. In mixed groups, that is often where the laughs happen, because people get brave when the pressure is low and the room is set up for it.

Then there is the ball pit. It is an obvious choice, but that is also why it works. It is energy, silliness, and an easy way for everyone to join in, even if they do not want to compete in darts or shuffleboard.

How to get the most from the 2-hour window

Two hours goes fast when you are trying to sample everything. I suggest using the first part of the window to lock in the activities your group cares about most, especially anything competitive like darts and shuffleboard.

After that, you can freestyle based on what feels fun right then. The ball pit and karaoke are often best near the middle or end, when people are already in a playful mood and less concerned about who is winning.

You do not have to treat this like a checklist. With unlimited play, your goal can be momentum and good photos, not perfect scoring.

The bar and cocktails at The All Out

The All Out also has an extraordinary bar and notes that you can try unique cocktails. This is a nice perk because it gives you an adult-friendly hangout option without turning your whole visit into a long dinner stop.

Practically, it also helps pacing. When you take breaks between games, you can order a drink and cool down for a few minutes instead of standing around wondering what to do next.

If you are traveling with friends who want more than just games, the bar is a reason to stay engaged with the space rather than treating it as a quick stop.

What’s included, and why those details matter

This combo ticket covers both sides of the day, not just entry. Here are the included items that actually influence your experience:

• Entry fee for The Upside Down Amsterdam
• Printed welcome picture at The Upside Down
• Lockers for small and medium items at The Upside Down
• Digital photo downloads
• Access to the Café and shop at The Upside Down
• Discount on parking
• 2 hours unlimited gaming at The All Out

Those locker and photo details are the type that prevent friction. Lockers let you move through the illusion rooms without holding onto everything. Photo downloads let you collect results without relying on everyone remembering to share images immediately after.

Parking discount is also a small but real benefit if you are driving or picking up someone who is. In a city like Amsterdam, getting the practical stuff right helps your day feel smoother.

Price and value: is 47 USD a good deal?

At about $47 per person for a one-day combo, you are paying for two experiences stacked in one visit. The value question is simple: are you going to use both sides enough?

If you are only interested in the photo rooms, you might feel the games are extra. But if you want both playful visuals and interactive activities, this is exactly the kind of ticket that justifies the price because you get unlimited time on the games side for a fixed window.

Think of it like this:

• The Upside Down is your photo and interactive room time, with included photo support.
• The All Out is your pay-once, play-anything style fun for two hours.

That combination is what makes the total cost feel fair. Also, the ticket has a 4 out of 5 rating from 58 reviews, which is a decent signal that people tend to feel they got what they expected.

Who this ticket fits best

This is a strong match if you want:

• A fun break from museum mode
• Something group-friendly, especially with friends who like games and photos
• An activity that works even if your group does not share a single hobby

It is also good for travelers who like “do it now” attractions. You do not need to plan complex itineraries to get value out of it. The experiences are close together, and the games window keeps the energy moving.

If you prefer quiet, reflective sightseeing, this might feel too playful and loud. But if you are in a lighthearted mood, this is the kind of day that turns into stories.

Practical tips to make it smoother

A few small choices can make a big difference:

• Keep your phone charged from the start, you will want it for the photo experience and the day itself.
• If your group splits into photo-first and game-first people, start with The Upside Down and then meet up at The All Out so nobody feels left out.
• Use the locker option for small and medium items at The Upside Down. Less stuff in your hands makes the illusion room experience easier.

Also, because the games window is fixed at two hours, avoid spending too much time dithering once you reach The All Out. Decide on your first couple of games quickly, then let curiosity take over.

Should you book the Upside Down and All Out combo ticket?

I would book it if you want a one-day, high-fun Amsterdam detour that mixes gravity-defying photos with real interactive play. The proximity of Europaboulevard 5, the included photo extras, and the two hours unlimited games at The All Out are the reasons this works.

I would skip or reconsider if you only care about one side, photos or games, because the other half will feel like wasted time. In that case, a single attraction might better match your mood.

If your group is up for silliness, then this ticket is a strong value play for a compact day.
