If you plan to visit multiple attractions in Amsterdam, the I amsterdam City Card provides the best overall value and includes direct entry.

Good to know before your visit
- Entrance: The main entrance to the zoo is located at Plantage Kerklaan 38-40, directly accessible via Tram 14 (ARTIS/Holocaust Museum stop). If you purchased your tickets online or are using the I amsterdam City Card, bypass the physical ticket office queue—which charges a €2.00 to €3.00 surcharge per ticket compared to online starting rates and is cashless (PIN-only)—and scan your digital barcode directly at the turnstiles. Note that nearby attractions like ARTIS-Micropia and the ARTIS-Groote Museum are located on the adjacent, publicly accessible Artisplein (Plantage Kerklaan 36) and have their own distinct entry points.
- Price: Official online tickets for adults (13+) start at €29.50 to €30.50 depending on the day, whereas purchasing at the counter costs a flat €32.50. Children aged 3–12 start from €25.50 online (€27.50 at the gate), toddlers aged 0–2 enter free, and students pay €16.25. Booking through authorized partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide aligns closely with these online rates (typically €30.50) but often includes more flexible cancellation options.
- Discounts: Children aged 0–2 enter free of charge, while youth aged 3–12 and higher education students (with a valid student card) qualify for reduced rates. Discounted tickets are also available for CJP and EYCA cardholders, but proof of eligibility must be shown at the entrance. If you hold an I amsterdam City Card, entry is free and you do not need to reserve a time slot in advance—simply scan your card directly at the gate. Booking online in advance is highly recommended as ticket prices are dynamically priced and always cheaper than buying at the counter.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or book a specific time slot for ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo?
No, you do not need to print your tickets; mobile vouchers can be scanned directly from your smartphone at the entrance. While you must select a date when booking, a strict entry time slot is generally only enforced for the indoor ARTIS-Micropia museum, whereas zoo entry is flexible throughout the day.
Can I cancel or reschedule my ARTIS Zoo tickets if my plans change?
Official tickets bought directly from ARTIS are typically non-refundable. However, booking through authorized partner platforms like Tiqets or GetYourGuide often provides free cancellation or rescheduling options up to 24 hours before your visit, which is highly recommended for travel flexibility.
Is it cheaper to buy tickets online or at the ARTIS ticket counter?
Tickets are always cheaper when purchased online in advance, starting from €29.50 for adults. Buying at the gate incurs a surcharge of €2.00 to €3.00 per ticket, and you may face long queues at the ticket window during weekends and school holidays.
What are the rules regarding bags, luggage, and security at the entrance?
Large bags, suitcases, and oversized luggage are not permitted inside the zoo due to safety regulations, and there are no luggage storage lockers on-site. Visitors are advised to leave large items at their hotel or use luggage storage services near Waterlooplein or Amsterdam Central Station.
Who qualifies for free or reduced admission at the zoo?
Children aged 0 to 2 enter for free, while children aged 3 to 12 and students receive discounted rates. Additionally, holders of the I amsterdam City Card get free entry and can scan their card directly at the entrance without needing a pre-booked online reservation.
What is the best way to visit the Planetarium and the reopened Aquarium?
Admission to the Planetarium and the Aquarium (which reopened in June 2026 after a major restoration) is included with your standard zoo ticket. Because the Planetarium has fixed showtimes and limited seating, check the daily schedule immediately upon arrival and head there early to secure a spot.
What happens if I arrive late for my booked date or time slot?
If you have a standard zoo ticket, you can enter anytime during opening hours on your booked date. However, if you booked a combo ticket that includes ARTIS-Micropia, you must arrive at Micropia during your selected time slot, as late arrivals may be denied entry if the museum is at capacity.
