Amsterdam: The Upside Down & The All Out Combination Ticket

Expect photos, games, and a little visual confusion. This combo pairs The Upside Down, an interactive world of optical illusions, with two hours at The All Out, where you can play darts, shuffleboard, Dutch sjoelen, karaoke, and more. I like the strong variety and the chance to leave with both digital photos and a printed welcome picture.

I also like that both places are next door at Europaboulevard 5, so you do not waste time crossing Amsterdam between activities. The main consideration is price: at $47 per person, this is best value for a group that will use the full two hours of games, not someone looking for a quick photo stop.

Quick points to know

• The Upside Down comes first for most people: Expect optical illusion rooms and interactive settings designed for photos and playful exploration.
• The All Out gives you two hours of unlimited games: Interactive darts, shuffleboard, Dutch sjoelen, karaoke, and a ball pit are included.
• You receive more than entry: The package includes a printed welcome picture, digital photo downloads, lockers for small and medium items, and access to a café and shop.
• The two venues are side by side: The simple location at Europaboulevard 5 makes this easy to combine in one outing.
• A charged smartphone matters: You need it for the photo side of the experience, so arrive with enough battery.
• The activity is wheelchair accessible: English is the listed language, and an English-speaking host or greeter is available.

Starting at Europaboulevard 5

The meeting point is the entrance to The Upside Down at Europaboulevard 5 in Amsterdam. The All Out is right next door, which is the most practical feature of the combo. You can move from photo rooms to games without arranging another trip or figuring out a second address.

This is an urban indoor activity, so it makes sense on a rainy afternoon or when you want a break from museums and canal walks. The ticket is valid for one day, and you need to check availability for the starting times when booking. The exact order can depend on the available time slot, but the experience is built around visiting both locations during the same outing.

Bring a charged smartphone. The rooms are made for interaction and pictures, and a low battery would take some of the fun out of the first half. Lockers are available for small and medium items at The Upside Down, which lets you move around without carrying every bag through the installations.

Inside The Upside Down’s optical illusion rooms

The Upside Down is designed to make ordinary visual rules misbehave. Rooms and décor appear to defy gravity, and the experience encourages you to interact with the settings rather than simply walk past them. I would think of it as a playful photo attraction with a puzzle-like edge, not as a traditional museum.

The value here comes from participation. You are not only looking at unusual rooms. You are working out how to pose, frame a picture, and make sense of spaces that have been designed to confuse your eyes. That gives the visit a social quality, especially if you are visiting with friends, family, or a partner.

The attraction is described as the world’s largest upside down social media experience. The important point for you is its scale and purpose: this is made for taking and sharing pictures. If you enjoy creative photos and unusual backdrops, the setting gives you plenty to work with. If you prefer quiet galleries or historical displays, the concept may feel light and entertainment-focused.

Your ticket includes a printed welcome picture and digital photo downloads. That is a useful touch because it gives you something physical to take away while keeping the rest of your images available digitally. Check how you want to save the downloads before leaving, and keep your phone ready throughout the visit.

There is also an Upside Down Café and shop. The supplied details do not specify the full café menu or shop selection, so I would treat these as useful extras rather than reasons to buy the ticket. The attraction also offers unique cocktails in an extraordinary bar, giving you the option to add a drink to the outing if that suits your group. The cocktail cost is not stated as part of the $47 package, so plan on paying separately unless confirmed at the venue.

The All Out: two hours of games next door

After The Upside Down, The All Out changes the mood from taking pictures to playing competitive games. Your ticket includes two hours of unlimited gaming, which is the part that gives the combo its second half of value.

The activities listed are:

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

Interactive darts gives you a familiar game with a more active, social format. Shuffleboard offers a slower contest that can suit a group with mixed energy levels. Dutch sjoelen adds a specifically Dutch touch. In sjoelen, you slide wooden discs toward scoring slots, so it is different from the better-known pub games and makes a pleasant change from darts.

Karaoke shifts the focus from winning points to making noise. You can use it as a proper singing session or simply as a comic group activity. The ball pit adds a deliberately silly finish, especially if your group wants something physical and relaxed rather than another serious competition.

The phrase unlimited gaming matters. You are not paying for one turn at one game. You have two hours to try different activities and return to the ones your group enjoys most. That makes this package stronger for three or more people who want to stay active and share the cost.

Still, I would keep expectations sensible. The available details do not say how many games you can use at once, how reservations work within the two-hour period, or whether certain activities have separate queues. The best approach is to arrive ready to choose quickly and ask the host or greeter how the games are organized that day.

How the two venues work together

The pairing is clever because the experiences offer different kinds of fun. The Upside Down is about visual settings, posing, and creating photos. The All Out is about friendly competition, singing, and movement. You get a more varied outing than you would from a photo attraction alone.

The change of pace also helps. After concentrating on pictures and optical illusions, you can spend the next two hours playing without needing to plan another stop. If someone in your group does not enjoy karaoke, that person still has darts, shuffleboard, sjoelen, or the ball pit to choose from.

I would allow enough time to enjoy both instead of treating The Upside Down as a quick stop before rushing next door. The ticket is valid for one day, but the All Out portion has a fixed two-hour gaming period. Check your starting time carefully so you do not cut the second part short.

Is the $47 price fair?

At $47 per person, the combo is not a bargain for a short visit. Its value depends on how fully you use it. You receive entry to The Upside Down, a printed welcome picture, digital photo downloads, lockers for small and medium items, access to the café and shop, a parking discount, and two hours of unlimited gaming at The All Out.

If you are interested in both attractions, the package is easier to justify than buying only a photo experience and then looking for another paid activity. The unlimited game period is the key value point. A group that plays several activities over two hours gets more from the ticket than a person who takes a few photos and leaves.

The package is also useful for groups with different tastes. One person can focus on images, another can enjoy karaoke, and another can compete at darts or sjoelen. That flexibility reduces the chance that the whole outing depends on one person liking one type of attraction.

I would be more cautious if you are visiting Amsterdam on a tight budget or if your main interest is sightseeing. The ticket does not include transport, meals, or cocktails, and the experience is entertainment rather than a major cultural landmark. You are paying for indoor fun and group time, not a historic Amsterdam setting.

The parking discount may help if you are driving, but the actual discount amount is not provided. I would not count it as a major saving until you confirm the terms.

Best time and best group for this activity

This combo suits friends, families, couples, and groups looking for a playful break from sightseeing. It is especially useful when you want an indoor plan that does not depend on the weather. The activities also make it a reasonable choice for a birthday or casual celebration, although no special event package is specified.

The experience will appeal most to you if you enjoy:

• Taking creative photos
• Trying unusual rooms and visual tricks
• Friendly competition
• Karaoke and group games
• A flexible indoor activity with several choices

I would not choose it as a priority if you are seeking traditional Dutch art, architecture, or local history. The Dutch element is most apparent in sjoelen, while the larger focus is modern entertainment and social photos.

The attraction is wheelchair accessible, which widens its appeal. Still, the supplied information does not describe the layout of every room or individual game, so anyone needing particular access details should confirm them before booking.

Practical tips for a smoother visit

Charge your smartphone before you go. This is the single clearest preparation tip because photos and digital downloads are part of the experience.

Wear something that lets you move comfortably. No special clothing is listed, but you will be posing, playing games, and possibly using the ball pit. Keep valuable or bulky items to a minimum, even though lockers are available for small and medium belongings.

Think about your group’s game preferences before the two-hour period begins. If everyone wants interactive darts or karaoke, you may need to ask how access works once you arrive. If your group has mixed tastes, plan to sample several activities rather than spending the full time on one station.

The one published review praised the experience as magnifique and especially liked that there were not many people present at the time, making it easy to have fun and take good photos. That is a useful reminder that crowd levels can affect the photo rooms. A quieter visit may give you more time with each setting, but no guaranteed low-crowd schedule is provided.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Amsterdam plans are still changing. English is the listed language, and an English-speaking host or greeter is available.

My verdict on the combination ticket

I like this ticket because it avoids the usual problem of a one-note photo attraction. The Upside Down gives you unusual rooms and keepsake images, while The All Out gives you a full two-hour block of games next door. That combination feels more worthwhile for a group than either activity would be on its own.

The price asks you to commit to both halves. At $47, I would book it if you plan to use the entire All Out session and genuinely enjoy playful photos. I would skip it if you are mainly looking for culture, history, or a quick low-cost stop.

For the right group, this is an easy indoor plan with plenty of choices and very little travel time between venues. Bring a charged phone, keep your schedule flexible for the one-day validity, and make sure your group wants both pictures and games before paying.
