This isn't by the central train station. They have a building across from the station so you pay...and then they tell you that you need to walk past other canal cruises to get to their boats to board.
Besides that, this was a fine canal cruise. It is a fairly large boat so you are not going down any small canals. But it's a basic overview of Amsterdam.
You get ear buds and select your language to hear the narration.

Funky and fun atmosphere and broad choices of menu items. Our server was so kind and energetic. Beautiful views of the city. The outdoor seating area is for people smoking and the door was open, so we did have exposure to second hand smoke. One odd thing - we ordered olives & nuts. They brought us a giant cup full of basic green olives and told us they were out of nuts. We would have preferred if they'd told us that so we could order something else.

This is a really good museum for adults and kids with decent attention spans. It's one up from the ground floor, so by ready for steps. Each room provides information about Amsterdam and it's history, with an emphasis on the canals. Very well presented.

Enjoyed learning about the history and current tulip industry. You can visit the shop for free, but for five euros you can visit the museum. Definitely worth it!

Strange entry. We were taken aback by the woman working the entry when we said that we wanted to join someone inside, and that he was smoking but we just wanted to go in and buy something without weed. Eventually she did sell us sodas and let us in. Not sure why the interrogation. Pinball was fine. There's absolutely no ventilation so you are sitting in a box of smoke.
