ARTIS-Micropia brings Amsterdam’s smallest inhabitants into view through living microbes, microscopes and interactive displays. Choose museum admission for an independent visit or combine it with ARTIS Zoo if you want to explore both attractions.
These are separate venues: a Micropia-only ticket does not include the zoo or the Groote Museum. Check the selected date, age category and exact inclusions before booking.

Which Micropia ticket fits your visit?
Start with the places you actually want to visit. Museum admission is enough for Micropia; choose a zoo combination only when both venues fit your plans. Booking conditions and child categories can differ between offers.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Do I need to book Micropia in advance?
Choose the date and any entry time required by the selected offer. Booking ahead lets you check availability and the final total before travelling. Follow the admission instructions on your confirmation.
Is Micropia a guided visit?
The admission offers here are for an independent museum visit. You explore displays and microscopes at your own pace. Staff talks are part of the museum programme; they are different from booking a private guided tour.
Does Micropia admission include ARTIS Zoo?
No. A Micropia-only ticket admits you to the microbe museum. ARTIS Zoo and the Groote Museum are separate attractions. Choose an offer explicitly including the zoo if you want to visit both.
Where is the Micropia entrance?
Micropia is at Plantage Kerklaan 38–40, beside ARTIS in Amsterdam’s Plantage district. Go to the museum entrance specified on your voucher rather than assuming a zoo ticket or entrance covers your visit.
How much time should I plan for Micropia?
Allow around 1–2 hours as a practical planning estimate, depending on how much time you spend at each display. Add a separate block of time for ARTIS Zoo when booking a combination.
Can children visit Micropia for free?
ARTIS states that children up to and including 12 years old enter Micropia free. Check whether your booking needs a child reservation. Zoo combinations have different age categories and should be checked separately.
How does the Micropia and zoo combination work?
The selected combination includes admission to Micropia and ARTIS Zoo. Check its date, entry instructions and any validity restrictions before paying. It does not automatically include the separately ticketed Groote Museum.
Can I cancel or change a Micropia booking?
Conditions depend on the partner and the selected offer. Check the cancellation deadline and change rules before payment; do not assume that every seller offers the same flexibility.
Is Micropia wheelchair accessible?
Micropia provides step-free access and a lift. Check ARTIS accessibility information for your specific needs and contact the museum ahead of time if you require assistance or a loan wheelchair.
