Coach travel to NEMO.

Planning a visit to NEMO with several classes or a large party? A coach from ITS-Reizen takes the whole group to Amsterdam in one go. The driver knows the arrangements for coaches in the city, so you can concentrate on the museum visit.

Off to the science museum together

NEMO is an outing pupils keep talking about for a long time. The way the day starts matters too: with your own coach, the group sets off straight from the school grounds, with no train tickets, no changes and no classes getting separated along the way.

As well as schools, we drive clubs, families and companies to NEMO. The same applies to every group: a fixed departure time, a driver who stays available all day and a coach that is ready and waiting at the agreed spot.

Arrangements for coaches in the capital

Amsterdam has its own rules for coaches: they may not enter every part of the city centre, and groups board and alight at designated points. Our drivers travel to the city regularly and take these arrangements into account. Beforehand, we agree with the group leaders where the group will get off and where the coach will collect you again. That way, everyone knows where to go after the visit to NEMO. It is wise to tell the pupils this in advance as well: a fixed meeting point and a fixed time make the end of the day a lot calmer, especially with a large group.

Taking a whole year group to NEMO

For an outing with several classes at once, a double-decker is often the most practical solution. It carries up to 90 pupils and staff in one vehicle, which makes the head count when boarding much easier. If a larger part of the school is coming along, several coaches run in one schedule and arrive at roughly the same time. How many classes fit in one coach depends on the number of pupils and accompanying staff. Let us know those numbers when you send your request, and we will suggest a combination of coaches that suits your group.

NEMO as part of a day programme

For many groups, a visit to NEMO takes a morning or an afternoon. With the coach, it is easy to combine with a second activity, such as a walk through the city centre, a canal cruise or another museum. The driver takes you to the next stop according to the programme, within the rules for coaches in Amsterdam. In your request, explain which activities you would like to combine and what time the group needs to be back home. We will then check whether the day is feasible within the driver's working hours and, if necessary, suggest a slightly different order.

A relaxed journey there and back

From Friesland, in the north of the Netherlands, the drive to NEMO takes about an hour and a half, depending on traffic around Amsterdam and your pick-up point. On a coach, that is a pleasant journey time: the group sits together and the staff can explain on the way what there is to do in the museum. On the way back, there is time to talk over the experiments and discoveries. If any pupils or staff travelling with you have limited mobility, please let us know in advance, so the driver can take this into account when people get on and off.

Museum tickets

In addition to the transport, ITS-Reizen can book the entrance tickets for NEMO if you wish; an administration fee may apply. If you would rather reserve a group visit with the museum yourself, that is of course possible too. In that case, let us know the time of your reserved visit so we can plan the departure time around it. Workshops or a special programme for schools are requested from NEMO. We make sure the group arrives on time and that the coach is waiting at the agreed spot afterwards.
