Not sure which ticket to choose?

For a Micropia-only visit, choose the lowest-priced entry ticket and compare seller availability. Choose the combo if you also want ARTIS Royal Zoo, the skip-the-line option when saving time matters, or the city pass only if you plan to use its wider Amsterdam benefits.

Before checkout

What is often not included

Online ARTIS tickets are automatically assigned a time slot; check the voucher carefully and arrive within the stated window, especially when buying a partner ticket.
A skip-the-line label does not remove security procedures: ARTIS may inspect bags or conduct a body search, so an admission or security queue can still remain.
Micropia requires bags larger than a handbag to be placed in lockers, so oversized daypacks or luggage may create a storage issue before entry.
Children aged 0–12 are listed as free by ARTIS, but they may still need their own ticket or time-slot selection; do not assume an adult booking automatically covers them.
Museum Pass, city-card and other reduced or free-admission visitors must bring the valid pass or proof needed for entry; a separate reservation or ticket may still be required in the booking flow.
Some partner offers in the comparison are marked limited availability, so the displayed option may disappear before checkout; confirm the final total, date, time slot and inclusions before paying.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

Entrance
ARTIS-Micropia is at Artisplein, Plantage Kerklaan 36, near the ARTIS Zoo main entrance at Plantage Kerklaan 38–40. Tram 14 stops at ARTIS, around the corner from the main entrance; trams 7 and 19 stop at Alexanderplein, about a 10-minute walk away. Micropia is open daily from 10:00 to 17:00. Keep your phone barcode ready; any reserved start-time instructions still apply. Bags larger than a handbag must be placed in Micropia lockers.
Price
No official ARTIS benchmark price is included in the supplied offer rows. The visible comparison prices are €18 for each listed Micropia entry ticket, €38.50 for the skip-the-line option, €39 for the zoo-and-Micropia combo, and €67 for the city pass; these are not like-for-like products, so check the final checkout total and inclusions before buying.
Discounts
Children up to and including 12 years old, Museumkaart holders, VriendenLoterij VIP card holders and ICOM holders can be admitted free under ARTIS rules; students and some other eligible visitors may receive reduced admission, and ARTIS lists free admission for refugees with proof of status. Bring the relevant card or document. If you already have an ARTIS museum ticket or Museum Pass, ARTIS says you do not need an additional time-slot reservation; otherwise follow the reservation instructions for the selected ticket.
Timing
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a mobile ticket for ARTIS Micropia, and do I need a time slot?

Yes, ARTIS accepts scannable mobile barcodes. Follow the date and start-time instructions shown on your selected ticket or checkout; online museum tickets may be assigned a time slot.

Can I cancel or get a refund if my plans change?

Official ARTIS Micropia tickets are generally non-refundable, although ARTIS says they may be rescheduled once to a new date within one year of purchase. Partner cancellation rules can differ, so check the specific offer before paying.

Is buying from an official ARTIS channel better than buying from a partner?

Official buying may provide the clearest ARTIS-specific ticket and rescheduling terms. Partner tickets can be useful when availability or confirmation is better for your plans, but compare the final checkout conditions, inclusions and cancellation policy.

Are bags checked, and does skip-the-line entry bypass security?

ARTIS staff may inspect bags or carry out security checks, and bags larger than a handbag must be stored in lockers at Micropia. A skip-the-line label should not be treated as a guarantee that security or bag storage will be bypassed.

What happens if I arrive late for my Micropia time?

Do not assume late entry is guaranteed. Check the ticket's time-slot and late-arrival terms, and contact the seller or ARTIS visitor service as soon as possible if you are delayed.

Do children and other reduced or free visitors need their own ticket?

Children up to and including 12 years old, annual museum pass holders and certain eligible visitors can receive free admission under ARTIS rules, but they may still need an appropriate reservation or proof of eligibility. Confirm the current reservation flow before relying on an adult ticket alone.

What is the main admission bottleneck inside Micropia?

The practical bottlenecks are the entry scan, any security or bag inspection, and locker storage for larger bags. Timed entry can organize arrival, but it does not remove those checks.
