While the official site is the primary source for cardholders, third-party partners like Tiqets and GetYourGuide offer excellent value through bundled canal cruises and flexible mobile tickets.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The museum entrance is located at ground level on the Oosterdok quay; do not use the external copper-colored stairs, as these lead only to the public roof terrace. All visitors, including those with Museumkaart or I amsterdam City Cards, must enter through the main doors and present a valid timed-entry slot. During the peak June season, security staff manage a queue outside to prevent overcrowding in the lobby; aim to arrive no more than 5–10 minutes before your slot. Once inside, head immediately to the locker area on the ground floor, as large bags and umbrellas are strictly prohibited in the exhibition galleries.
- Price: The official standard rate for NEMO Science Museum is €17.50 for all visitors aged 4 and older, while children under 4 and holders of the Museumkaart or I amsterdam City Card enter for free. Partner prices for standalone tickets may be higher than the official rate due to integrated booking services; compare the final checkout total and inclusions before paying.
- Discounts: Children aged 0–3 enter free, but they still require a €0 timed-entry ticket reserved online. Holders of the Museumkaart, I amsterdam City Card, VriendenLoterij VIP-KAART, and Stadspas receive free admission but must pre-book a specific arrival slot via the official site to guarantee entry. Reduced rates (approx. €8.75) are available for students and CJP members with valid physical or digital ID. Visitors under 13 years old must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Note that the rooftop terrace is a public square and can be visited for free without a museum ticket or reservation, though access may be restricted during bad weather or special events.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to book a specific time slot in advance?
Yes, NEMO Science Museum requires all visitors to book a timed entry slot online to manage capacity. This applies to everyone, including holders of the Museumkaart, I amsterdam City Card, or Stadspas, who must reserve a free 'start time' ticket before arrival.
Can I visit the roof terrace without buying a museum ticket?
Yes, the roof terrace (Piazza) is a public space accessible via the stairs from the street or the elevator in the entrance hall. While the terrace, cafe, and water features are free to visit, a paid ticket is required to enter the museum's indoor exhibition floors.
Are there facilities for storing bags and strollers?
NEMO provides self-service lockers for coats and small bags, but large suitcases and trolleys are strictly prohibited and cannot be stored on-site. Strollers are permitted throughout the museum, though they may be restricted in certain high-traffic demonstration areas during peak hours.
What is the policy for late arrivals?
You should arrive within the 15-minute window of your selected start time. While staff typically allow a small grace period, entry is not guaranteed if you arrive significantly late and the museum has reached its maximum hourly capacity.
Do children under 4 years old need a ticket?
Children aged 0-3 enter for free, but they still require a reserved '0-3 years' timed entry ticket. You must add this free ticket to your online order to ensure every member of your party is accounted for in the museum's capacity limits.
How long should I plan for a visit and how can I avoid crowds?
Most families spend 3 to 4 hours exploring the five floors of exhibits. To avoid the heaviest crowds, book the first morning slot or visit after 3:00 PM; the museum is typically most crowded during school holidays and rainy weekends.
