neptune18 Posted August 4, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Has anyone done the 30 minute introduction prior to entering the house? Is it worthwhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesliehr Posted August 6, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Yes. We did this last summer. I think it's basically for people who have NOT read " The Diary of Anne Frank". It gives a basic overview of what you'll be seeing. I thought it was very good ( and I was very familiar with everything Anne Frank). I'm glad we did it....and if we went back, I'd do it again.

zellb226 Posted August 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2016 We just did this last week, and it was a good introduction to the tour and reminder of the book if you have not read it recently. Also, I hope you have managed to get your tickets online. The waiting line with no tickets was very long, perhaps hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vino100 Posted August 29, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2018 We already have our tickets to tour. I can now buy the intro tickets. How much time should I allow for this tour ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeasme123 Posted September 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Did you see any young children taking the tour? Our daughter will be 9 years old by the time we take the trip. Just checking if it would be appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking if it would be appropriate. Have her read the Diary and she won’t be able to wait for the visit. I read it at her age before a visit as well.

hehny Posted September 3, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The official site recommends that children be 10 or older. Obviously, you know your child best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking if it would be appropriate. Depends if your daughter can handle the realisation it doesn't end happily ever after at the end of the tour and Anne and her sister died of starvation or typhoid before being buried in a mass grave after being imprisoned by people who kept index cards detailing the people they intended to murder. Personally I would suggest that would be quite tough for a 9 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2gonow Posted September 7, 2018 #12 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Did you see any young children taking the tour? Our daughter will be 9 years old by the time we take the trip. Just checking if it would be appropriate. Only you know your daughter. I will tell you this was an extremely moving tour that left a sadness/recollection period hours at minimum. Being that it was from a child’s perspective is gut wrenching for me. Like just saying the only recovery was the “coffee shops” ;-) Kerri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
