Accessible A'DAM Lookout in Amsterdam
The “Over The Edge” swing on the rooftop of the A’dam Lookout is only accessible if you can walk for a few steps. Otherwise, just enjoy the amazing 360-degree views over Amsterdam. Or take a seat in the “Amsterdam VR Ride” – just put on the VR glasses and take a lifelike roller coaster ride right through central Amsterdam.
The lift that takes all visitors to the top of the building is wheelchair accessible.
Getting to A'DAM Lookout in Amsterdam using Public Transport
Although the A’dam Lookout is on the “other side” of the river IJ from Amsterdam Centraal Station, it is easily accessed by one of the FREE public ferries in Amsterdam.
Simply take the F3 ferry from behind Amsterdam Centraal Station to Buiksloterweg).
After arriving at Buiksloterweg, it’s then an easy 3-minute walk/roll to the A’Dam Lookout (the tower is located beside the Amsterdam EYE Film Museum building).
The public ferries in Amsterdam are very wheelchair accessible (forget about ideas of small boarding ramps lowering you into the boat).
Each ferry has a wide, ground-level boarding ramp, which is used by pedestrians, Amsterdam cyclists (who just cycle on board), mopeds and wheelchairs. You simply roll on board (without the need for any boarding help from the ferry staff).
And even better, the blue and white public ferries in Amsterdam are FREE.
Accessible Entrance to A'DAM Lookout in Amsterdam
If you are arriving at the A’DAM Lookout by the accessible public Amsterdam ferry (recommended), and then rolling to the main entrance of the A’dam Lookout tower, access to the building is via a ramp.
If you are arriving at the A’dam Lookout by taxi though (not recommended – as taxis have to take a very roundabout route to get here, so it will be rather expensive), then there is a lift from the parking level below the building, which will take you up to the main/ground floor.
After showing your tickets (you can buy your tickets at the A’dam Lookout itself, but booking online in advance gives you a discounted rate), a lift then whisks you up to the 20th floor.
Accessible Toilets at A'DAM Lookout in Amsterdam
Wheelchair accessible toilets are available on both the ground floor, and also on the 20th floor too.
Accessible Cafe/Restaurant at A'DAM Lookout in Amsterdam
The 360-degree, revolving restaurant on the 20th floor of the A’dam Lookout is wheelchair accessible (plus the wheelchair accessible toilet is nearby). There is also a bar on the rooftop of the A’dam Lookout.
