This 17th-Century canal house, where Anne Frank, her family and four others hid from the Nazis for two years, is now a museum and educational centre. There’s a permanent exhibition on the life and times of Anne, and you can visit the cramped ‘secret annexe’ they called home. The museum is a fundamental part of 17th century history, and a chance to see Anne’s words come to life. The house is a chilling reminder of the Second World War and a moving testament to the her bravery and optimism.

This biographical museum, located in central Amsterdam, is dedicated to Jewish wartime diarist Anne Frank. Given the serious nature of this museum, this may be best suited for kids 10 and up. Keep in mind reservations need to be made online and well in advance (like weeks if not months ahead) of your arrival.
