One of the things we did in Amsterdam was to tour the Bols factory. Bols got its start a long time ago producing Genever, an herbal spirit full of... herbs and such. It now also produces a large number of flavored alcohols and liquors. The tour was super fun. You got to play around with tastes (eating a strawberry flavor strip while looking at pictures of blueberries, eating a different flavor strip while holding your nose, etc.), scents (smelling various vaporized liquors and having to guess the flavor), touch (handling the dried ingredients used to make the liquors), and taste (free cocktails and samples at the end of the tour!). All in all it was very interesting and well-done: a great way to spend a few hours doing something different and also relaxing.
Cheers!!
