The perfect mix of nature and culture
Combine a day at ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo, the oldest zoo of the Netherlands, with a visit of Micropia, the world’s first and only museum about microbes. ARTIS, as the zoo is locally referred to, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Amsterdam. The zoo was founded in 1838 and is home to thousands of animals and over 700 trees and plant types from all around the world.
Enjoy a relaxing day at the zoo, away from the hustle and bustle of the Dutch capital. Pay a visit to the giraffes and zebras in the Savanna, see the new lion enclosure that opened in 2023, marvel at the strength of elephants and the agility of jaguars or visit the enchanting butterfly pavilion. Be amazed by the many species living side by side in the Forest House and Bird House.
Learn more about the animals’ natural living environments and the zoo’s efforts to preserve endangered species and biodiversity. Furthermore, the zoo includes a fascinating planetarium where you are escorted on an adventure in space. Travel across the stars, moons, planets and even entire galaxies faster than the speed of light.
More than meets the eye
You can’t see them yet trillions of them are all around and on us: microbes. Around two-thirds of life on earth consists of microorganism that you cannot see without a microscope. Micropia is the world’s first museum completely dedicated to microbes and is an unforgettable experience for adults and children alike. Micropia was founded in 2014 and reveals a whole new world to its visitors.
Microbes are all around us and an integral part of life; they are the smallest yet most powerful lifeforms on earth. More than 700 species of bacteria live in your mouth alone, time to step into the Kiss-O-Meter to find out what happens to them when you kiss someone. Every day at 13.00 and 16.00, the Micropia laboratory technicians share interesting microbe facts in the museum and answer all your questions
Micropia is a high-tech and immersive multimedia experience that will let you enter the realm of what’s usually hidden from our eyes. Modern microscopes, interactive displays and state-of-the-art equipment bring the world of our powerful little neighbours to life, making the award winning exhibitions an unforgettable experience for the whole family!

magical spot to experience
A beautiful spot in Amsterdam. surrounding the zoo and inside the zoo it feels like a magical place. the food is really good in the restaurant even though it is vegetarian and vegan, i was pleasantly surprised how good it tasted. lovely elephants and giraffes who seem to be very happy and very curious of the guests

Great visit
Good visit to this zoo. Animals are well cared for and staff informative. Quite a few cafes within the zoo. This was a return visit as we were here in 2018.

Fantastic zoo! 100% would recommend
Highlight of our trip. This zoo was fantastic and so reasonably priced! You can literally walk through animal enclosures and could get much closer to some of the bigger animals compared to any other zoo I’ve been to. Yes some enclosures could be slightly bigger but it reassured me that these animals were all rescued. The staff we interacted with were so friendly and I would recommend this zoo to anyone

It was amazing!
My girlfriend and I bought ticktets for the whole thing, but sadly we only had time for the ZOO and Micropia. Both were delightful experiences! The Micropia center is very interesting and fun - they give you stuff to do and you can interact with basically everything. And the ZOO is just huge and amazing! All of the people who work there are very helpful and you can practically ask them anything about the animals. Loved it❤️

Happy day at zoo
I normally get sad about zoos, because animals are in cages but this wasn’t like it. They got their own areas, not small cages, and clearly they enjoyed their life - or almost all others than couple wallabies, who looked like they are annoyed and hate everyone. Paths were clear, there were benches and staff was super helpful. Definately recommend! Ticket was quite expensive.

An amazing zoo
Me and my partner had amazing time at artis Amsterdam zoo first the staff was very nice and welcoming and the animals habitat was so clean and they seem so happy and so much space to move around and enjoy a natural life so wanted to share my thoughts. Best zoo I been to so far.

A lovely day
Our group had free entry to the zoo with our IAmsterdam cards, and I’m glad we went. It was a super zoo and you got some good looks at the animals, particularly the elephants and the cute baby giraffe currently there! The enclosures are quite small as it’s a city zoo but it seems well managed. We also visited Micropia (separate entry fee but also free with our cards) which was a brilliant museum and far exceeded our expectations as a last day of the holiday activity.

Great experience. I saw a zoo looking after their animals.
I was looking for someone else to see and do in Amsterdam, so I did this zoo trip, and what a great experience I had there, The animals all looked very well kept and healthy plus going round it was all very clean so easy to just walk around, beautiful animals inside and the elephants looked amazing big healthy and well looked after.

Great zoo!
Enjoyed this zoo on my previous trip to Amsterdam so decided to visit again this time (I actually ended up going twice!). The zoo it situated in a quieter area of Amsterdam and it easily accessible by tram or walking. Staff were all really friendly and the zoo was easy to navigate. I'd highly recommend visiting the cafe situated over the left side of the park, near the giraffe and zebra enclosure. There is a great terrace where you can sit and watch the animals. Overall a great activity if you're looking for something different to do while in Amsterdam!

A hidden place to discover
Found by walking from my Hotel The Lancaster across the road. What an amazing surprise to see flamingos dancing in their pond. The wonderful layout of this incredible area is just like finding a jewel in the jungle. The panther and its chilling call. The beautiful trees as you stroll from animal to animal the elephants the giraffes, the new and beautiful lions den. Enjoy their space. I spent the day just absorbing it all.
Aug 27, 2024Seanwalshsolo25
Amazing find in Amsterdam
Amazed at the amount if space and animals there were here. Definitly worth a visit. Loads to see and do for adults and kids. Loads of restaurants and cafes as well.

The Best Zoo
I have been to this zoo many times and every time was a brilliant experience. I asked my friend what animal do you want to see. He said elephants and literally less than 30 minutes later we saw 4 beautiful elephants, one large male, 2 large females and 2 lovely babies. They were less than 5 meters away so we got a great view of their size and behaviour. It was such a lovely experience to be able to show my friend and enjoy the up close and personal experience myself. My favourite part is the walk in enclosure where you are up close to the sloths, marmosets and lizards with absolutely no fence or cage in between. You walk into their world, you see what they see with nothing in between. The cafes and food courts are very reasonably priced. With the view of giraffes and zebras walking by as you eat your meal is just next world worthy. I have been to many zoos all over Europe and this zoo is by far the best. Every time I visit it has been updated and improved upon so you see where your entrance fee is being spent. Overall if you like animals and want to see them in a minimal enclosure that is safe but lets the animals roam free then this is the zoo for you.

Defo worth a visit
This is the best zoo we’ve ever visited - you can get so close to the animals and they have so much more space. There are a lot of different areas that overlap above and below ground, it feels very natural and flowy

Great family day out
An enjoyable day out for our family. We booked the zoo as a space filler between other bookings and thought we’d pop in for a couple of hours. We didn’t have high hopes but we were wrong. We got round the zoo and saw everything in about 1.5 hours but we could have easily stayed twice as long. Even our teen daughters enjoyed it which is really saying something!

Excellent zoo, very impressed
Very impressed with ARTIS, especially for a city zoo. Very well maintained and looked after throughout, with well thought out and enriched enclosures. Wide range of animals with excellent displays. Very rare to see so many captive animals so relaxed and displaying so many normal behaviours. Would highly recommend and love to come back.
Jul 29, 2024Climber597909
Not sure about this zoo, it was good as a zoo but didn’t mention any animal saving work so is it just cruelty for profit
I’m never sure with zoos. Are they protecting example of a species with programmes to rewind offspring or have they just ‘acquired’ animals (how?) from their natural habitat? Some zoos tell you all about their animal programs. I didn’t see much of this. There were a couple of programs mentioned for people which is something. If you put the potential cruelty aside it is a lovely place to visit. Well laid out to spread the people. Lots of greenery including beautiful edible gardens everywhere. Loads of animals to see. On a downside there was a dead bird in with some grass eating mammals, the elephants didn’t look like they had much greenery and the chimps were having lots of fights, could be natural behaviour, could be stress or lack of space.

ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo - 28/06/2024
ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo - 28/06/2024 A really enjoyable zoo we went to on our trip to Amsterdam. I have not been to a zoo in a while and I forgot how fun they are! We were there for 2-3 hours, really good fun!
Jun 30, 2024X3703LAamyj
Huge zoo, great vibe
This zoo is huge the enclosures are large and it’s relatively easy to navigate your way around! They have good facilities although we brought our own food from the local shop! We didn’t do the aquarium but we spent the whole day at the zoo alone so we wouldn’t have had time to do both! Luckily we were able to see the majority of the animals who were all lying around or enjoying the enrichment in their environments I would definitely recommend this place if you want a fun day out and it is family friendly too
Jun 30, 2024robynj435
Very good
I would definitely recommend paying a visit to this zoo. They have a wide variety of animals to look at. The admission fee was 15€ each (students) which we found to be very affordable. The zoo itself is clean and easy to walk around and staff were friendly . There is a small gift shop on site and a large place to eat . Overall if you’re looking for something to do in Amsterdam this is worth the visit !
Jun 28, 2024D643ULjennyt
Beautiful zoo great day out! Hard to beat a visit here for animal lovers!
Wonderful day lovely zoo in beautiful setting: I would highly recommend it. Also very interesting to read up on its history especially during ww2 see Google ! Entry isn’t cheap But 2 euros for z map was worth it for the children to navigate their visit independently! Nice little outdoor cafe good coffee and cakes As a disabled visitor the park is Accessible we only hit one set of steps which stopped us visiting a very small section.parking I believe was 16 euros but easy to find and right outside the entrance perfect for disabled guests and little people and the end of the day! We’re we’re there all day and covered most of it leisurely but would go back to see what we missed because the kids were in charge and prioritised their favourites! Vegans catered very well for in one restaurant kids didn’t notice their nuggets weren’t chicken. They were really nice! Highlights: our a beautifully planted green space Stand still in the butterfly house and znd they come to you. Nice playgrounds around the zoo to burn off excited energy Our kids loved the large reptile house Gift shop was beautiful high quality otoys but with high prices a few pocket money items but not many.

Visited from the UK
The zoo's size I'd very impressive! Some of the enclosures are not the best size. The makaaks only have a tiny enclosure and the penguins didn't have deep enough water to swim in. The overall experience was very good and the gyro pizza that the restaurant offers was brilliant!
Jun 10, 2024Nomad30399104484
Great Attraction
Great experience. Big zoo, took us a long time to walk around and experience everything. Animals appear well looked after and mostly happy in their habitats. We had a pizza and a couple of bottles of beer whilst walking around and these were tasty and a reasonable price. Lots of places to explore and interesting facts littered around to read as you do so. Would deffo return if ever back in Amsterdam!

Amazing time 🐒
We came here as part of our day in Amsterdam. All the animals were out doing things and clearly well cared for. So much to see and staff really nice. Such a massive place, could definitely make here a whole day thing. Animals and surroundings were amazing and it’s not that far from main city centre. Half an hour walk or get the tram right outside takes 10 minutes if that.
May 23, 2024andyorphic
Beautiful
Probably the best zoo i have visited in europe. Besides all the amazing animals and variety of species, this zoo was truly amazing as a place aswell, the nature was relaxing and everything was beautiful.
May 12, 2024amyst3w
Loved it
Fantastic place. My personal favourite was the butterfly House. Lots to see. Gift shop was nice however I didn't see anything I liked unfortunately so could possibly do with more options. They serve vegan food which was great for me and decent value

Nice city zoo
Nice zoo, great playground for the kids. The staff is really helpful and friendly. The animals seems to be well treated and happy
Apr 27, 2024rebeccap2694
Great zoo!
Great zoo with a really nice spread out set up, the habitats are all well kept. Would definitely recommend going, we were there over 2 hours!
Apr 11, 2024xLucy123
Nice for a few hours
We walked here for something to do for a few hours and it didn’t disappoint! We got there for around 11ish and left around 1-1:30ish. We saw everything apart from the jaguars as they weren’t out. It has lots of offer and plenty of opportunities throughout the park for a sit down. Lots of animals, birds, insects, flowers too see. Id recommend
Apr 3, 2024rosecharli
Definitely recommend.
I loved this zoo, one of the best I've been to. Lots of interactive stuff, animal houses and places to eat/drink. A smaller zoo due to being in the center of the city but still seemed to have more animals than the bigger zoos.
Mar 26, 2024Mango1302
worth the visit!
Really nice zoo, enclosures didn’t actually feel like enclosures. Animals seem well cared for. Not busy at every area, some parts you had all to yourself which was great. Only downside is the aquarium section was shut due to construction which we were not made aware of plus tickets were still full price. Slightly disappointed by this.
Mar 19, 2024Q2260JRannab
A stimulating day out.
An excellent collection of animals, insects, etc. All housed in interesting and suitable conditions. Overall the collection was in well kept and historic parkland. Choice of eating facilities, enjoyed both lunch and a final cup of tea and cake. The zoo particularly appeared to cater for families, discovery activities, etc. A playground for children within the zoo offered relaxing fun.
Mar 8, 2024Limagirl1975
Definitely recommend
This is probably the best zoo I've visited, beautiful grounds and buildings and the way it's set up makes you feel much closer to the animals than other zoos allow although it helped that it was quiet when we visited.
Mar 5, 2024Tabatha1998
Well worth a visit
A great range of animals, some of which are not on display in many other zoos. Some areas looked a little neglected or not overly-friendly to the actual animals on display (time to make it more about the animals and less about the visitors). We went in winter and the selection of food available was somewhat disappointing (not all cafes were open).
Feb 27, 2024LittleTink
Go visit - you won’t be disappointed!
We spent a couple of hours walking round the zoo and it really was a delight. There are lots of animals, all in a fabulous setting. We enjoyed watching the gorilla’s, they were content in eating their way into their enrichment. It must have been some kind of sweet/savoury liquid, it was encased in a flat tube and they had to use a piece of stick to get to their reward. The jaguar gave us a right fright as we walked down a dark passageway to see it walking towards us! We couldn’t see the glass, but were very happy when we did! We would have stayed longer but it absolutely chucked it down. Definitely recommend. And what a great idea of the little pull along trucks for little ones to sit in whilst going round the zoo! Genius!

Decent Zoo
Going in the winter isn't brilliant. Also went not long after opening time which was probably a mistake. A lot of the animals still indoors and there's no access to the public for most of the enclosures. Spent a couple of hours there and was only able to see about 50% of the animals. But most importantly, they all looked well cared for and had a good amount of space to move around.
Feb 19, 2024floj721
Lovely city centre zoo.
I'm glad we visited this zoo. It's small but well laid out. On the day we visited it was raining rather heavily, so it wasn't too busy. There are lots of animals to see, and the ones we saw all looked well cared for and happy. Because of the weather there were some 'no shows' but who can blame them for not wanting to come outside in the rain! The aquarium is undergoing renovation atm, so that wasn't open. We took shelter in the small mammals walk through, which didn't disappoint. We had lunch too, which was reasonable and filling. All in all I would definitely recommend this zoo for a visit. Good value for money.

Really sweet zoo
This little zoo was a revelation. Ignore any reviews here which describe it as sad or horrid. The zoo is a historic one, which sits in beautifully landscaped gardens. The animal enclosures are spacious and well designed on the whole. We visited on a freezing cold January day, but almost all the animals were visible and active and none of them looked stressed or uncomfortable in any way. The sea lions were particularly entertaining, the elephants were playing, the lions were doing what lions do ( lying around) and the giraffes were feeding happily. There is a good selection of animals, reptiles and birds on display and an added bonus was the sight of hundreds of wild herons and cormorants using the trees around the zoo as nesting areas. The zoo wasn’t crowded ( probably because of the weather) but there were a couple of school groups there. However they were so well hidden by the layout of the place that you would not have known. Good cafe and shop!

Pleasant
The partner and I enjoyed our time here. Plenty of Animals to be seen who were very socialable. They were not afraid to make themselves seen or heard. The layout was surprisingly good. I felt like I managed to see everything without having to go back on myself or go in different directions. The staff on hand were helpful. They even kindly held our bags somewhere safe so we could explore. Elephants and Giraffes were a fun highlight.
Feb 2, 2024CelticGirlLA
A worthwhile visit to this small and lovely zoo.
A lovely small and gorgeous zoo. It was lightly raining but it was still fairly crowded. The animals seemed happy and had space to roam. It was small and well designed. We were happy to be staying where we could walk over and enjoy this special place on our last day. It's worth a visit!
Jan 1, 2024663finlayb
Brilliant Zoo
Brilliant zoo, loads of cool animals and attractions. Although it was December and cold, most of the animals could easily be seen. Butterfly house and the seals were easily our favourite's, could watch them for hours. Reasonably priced, would definitely return again.
Dec 10, 2023262benw
Great couple hours
Reasonably price zoo with a variety of different species of animals. Well kept and managed to a high standard. But there’s also a lot of upgrading to certain enclosures so not as much to see as they would normally be

ARTIS ZOO AMSTERDAM VIST
This is the second time we have visited Artis Zoo , going 2 years in a row. Zoo is excellent, many different animals to see laid out in a spacious, well kept and easy to get round. Manged to see and get up close to animals such as, Black Panther, Giraffe, Red Panda, Chimpanzees Gorilla, Zebra and many many more. The indoor rain forest, Insectariium and Planiterium are all again excellent and very informative. Staff very friendly and helpful Weather was also great both times we went, which helped. Would 100% recommend if you are in Amsterdam!! The Clarks from Scotland .

Very Beautiful place to visit the best part it has been for all the walks of life. The Funny part they serve vegetarian food only. But it’s good

Nice trip
Great zoo, very clean. Spent half a say here and there was lots to see. Didn't get a glimpse of the Jaguar, that was the only thing we missed. Very well laid out and mostly flat, which is a bonus!
Sep 24, 2023THEJeffHobson
Surprisingly excellent
Ok. I'll admit that my timing might have been rare, but my wife and I struck zoo-gold with this place. Besides being a wonderful layout, ALL of the animals were active, walking, playing or otherwise "entertaining" us humans with them being......animals. Some reviews were not so stellar stating the small size of the zoo. Really? Well, if you're used to the San Diego or Indianapolis zoos, then sure, you'll breeze through this zoo relatively quick. But please don't let that keep you from this gem. And, if you do go, you might as well visit the nearby botanical gardens and exhibit which was also wonderful.
Sep 11, 2023SLD0803
Go and see the butterflies!!
We had the most amazing weather when we visited Artis. Really hot and sunny! We loved the zoo and would definitely visit again. The butterfly section was surprisingly our favourite part. So worth going into the butterfly section if you visit!!
Sep 7, 2023ToBeserved
Please keep The Zoo alife
The love and respect for all animals grows with every minute you walk here. What a wonderful stories we heard about father and son ape,having lost their mother, the spectaculair view on the hierarchy among gorilla's.

Beautiful place to visit (and has animals)
Despite the crowd this is a very relaxing experience. The grounds are really beautiful and there’s lots of shade for those warmer days. My favourite was the butterfly house but lots of other good things. I didn’t get to see the planetarium. Several places to have lunch and/or coffee and a snack (including right next to the penguins, which is great if you are with young children). Entry price seems a bit expensive but I haven’t been to a zoo for a long time and I don’t know how it compares.

Wonderful concept and beautifully presented
Nothing like anything I've seen before! Almost everything in the museum is interactive. It's very fun and interesting for both kids and adults (no matter if you have a specific interest in the field or not). The exhibit is very diverse, and it doesn't get boring. We spent about two hours inside.

A zoo for microbes!
Great attraction, suitable for adults, teens and young kids with interactive exhibits and tons of microbes to learn more about. You can scan your body, analyse a kiss, and study life under a microscope. Everyone working there was super friendly and happy to help too. A fun and unique experience.
Jul 28, 2024Climber597909
Well worth visiting. Probably highlight of the trip for my teen
Smallish but super interesting. Right next to zoo. My teen especially likes tardigrades, and there was lots to look at; we were there for about 2 hours. Good interactive exhibits.
Jul 2, 2024280hilaryt
Very interesting museum!
We visited this on our first full day in Amsterdam. There are so many interesting exhibits to look at and the interactive exhibits really add to the experience (as well as being able to collect stamps as you go round!). We have recommended this to friends and family too!
May 14, 2024LucasM7279
Interactive and interesting museum
Great museum! Very interesting content displayed in an interactive and visually pleasing way. You could see live microbes under microscopes that you could operate yourself. A fun afternoon out for adults and kids alike!
Mar 3, 2024ve55el
great museum
as a microbiology student, this place was amazing!! i could have spent all day here. absolutely attend one of the daily talks if you can, it was fascinating. there is a ton of information and unusual microbes, plus rate opportunities to look down microscopes at microbes such as unusual algae - something i particularly enjoyed! even if you aren't particularly interested in micro you will still enjoy an hour or more visiting here. :)

Educational Museum
This is a very interesting and educational museum about the origin of bacteria and fungi. Everything is explained very descriptive. It has plenty top try out - not only perfect for children.
Nov 11, 2023Blamelessfawn
Good visit, worth a look.
Daughter was excited to visit this museum, and she loved it. Very informative, not huge but had lots to look at. Adults enjoyed it too. Only downside was the ticket doesn’t allow you access to the gift shop. Daughter wanted an Artis de Partis toy, and we weren’t allowed in to the shop to purchase one. We travelled to the station to purchase, which was a bit of a trek, so that was annoying.

Unique museum experience
Def a great alternative to the typical art museums when visiting the city. Super interesting and informative experience and great for all ages. The nerd in me loved every moment. I would highly recommend. Also next to the zoo and can combine tix for a small discount.
Aug 9, 2023WilliamM366
Disgustingly fab!
Who knew gross little microbes could be so fascinating? Lots of interesting exhibits & displays full of interesting facts and info. The body scan is particularly disturbing! For all ages but young ones will really enjoy it. Good fun.

Let your inner science Geek explore
This place was amazing. My science nerd of a husband really wanted to go. I have to say I am glad we did. All of the interactive exhibits are well done, educational and entertaining. We were there for almost three hours, the time just flew. I guess my inner science nerd was allowed to shine.

A wonderfully designed museum with a real sense of humor; it kept family and friends engaged for 1-2 hours.

Leuk museum
Super fijn museum, niet te druk waardoor we alles op ons gemakje konden bekijken. Het is heel leerrijk en interactief: je kan alle microben onder de microscoop bekijken en stempels verzamelen.

Et besøg værd
Har en datter som går op i emnet. Var lidt skeptisk på hvad jeg ville synes. Blev meget positivt overrasket. Spændende på en interaktiv måde. En stor anbefaling.

Super spændende og interaktivt museum.
Virkelig godt og spændende museum! Meget god og lærerig viden om diverse mikrobakterier, formidlet på en utrolig god måde. Man var med hele vejen igennem, og selv en der ikke interesserer sig specielt for emnet, kan være med. Kan helt klart anbefales til alle.

Découvrir l’infiniment petit...
Super expérience dans ce musée original qui nous fait découvrir ce que nos yeux ne peuvent voir sans microscope... Très bien fait, à la fois scientifique et ludique, nous avons beaucoup aimé!

Zoo der etwas anderen Art
Sehr schöner Zoo der etwas anderen Art. An viele Stationen lässt sich mikrobilologisches Leben live beobachten. Ergänzt werden sie Stationen mit informativen Filmen in mehreren Sprache. Der Zoo erstreckt sich über zwei Etagen, dadurch ist er räumlich sehr klein aber mit hohem Informationsgehalt.

Leuk museum, dat laat zien hoe de "kleine natuur" om ons heen belangrijk is voor ons bestaan, maar ook ziekten kan veroorzaken. Zowel voor kinderen als volwassenen leuk. En men leert alles om zich heen te waarderen. Het enige minpunt is, dat er bij het naar binnengaan wordt aangegeven dat er op vastgestelde tijden ( die kenbaar worden gemaakt ) een laborant komt, die ook nog van alles kan zien, en waar je vragen aan kan stellen. Wel: deze laborant komt dus NIET....

Sitio increïble para ir a visitar si te gusta el mundo de la microbiologia o tienes curiosidad por el mundo microscopico
Espacio amplio, muy limpio, muy bien decorado. Hay taquillas para dejar tus cosas antes de entrar y la experiencia muy bonita, sin duda volveria!

Unglaublich
Das einzige Mikrobenmuseum der Welt. In der Beschreibung steht, man besichtigt es in ca. 90 Minuten. Ich habe mehr als drei Stunden hier verbracht und mich nicht gelangweilt. Einfach toll gemacht und man erfährt auch als totaler Laie, der ich war, viel Spannendes beim Einblick in die Welt der Mikroben

Aanschouwelijke en leuke tentoonstelling
Vandaag een bezoek gebracht aan Micropia. De tentoonstelling is zeer aanschouwelijk en gestructureerd opgesteld. De informatie is duidelijk en eenvoudig geformuleerd om het te begrijpen. Het feit dat je doorheen de tentoonstelling stempels kan verzamelen om je eigen 'microscopisch beeld' is een leuke meerwaarde. We hebben er ongeveer een klein uurtje gespendeerd.

Tolles Konzept um Wissenschaft zu vermitteln
So ganz anders im Vergleich zu den verschiedenen Kunstmuseen in Amsterdam; hier wird Wissen auf eine sehr schöne und originelle Weise vermittelt über die kleinsten Lebewesen.

Expo sympa
L’expérience est très chouette et ludique, pour les adultes et les enfants. Le personnel est super accueillant. Je recommande.

Super musée
Super musée! Ça change de ce qu’on peut voir. Super intéressant les bactéries et microbes etc. À faire sans hésiter !!!! Se fait assez rapidement, en 1h à 1h30. Vestiaires gratuits à l’entrée

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Wow!! In Micropia gaat er letterlijk een nieuwe wereld voor je open. Wat kunnen microben prachtig zijn. Echt een aanrader💕

Génial ! À faire
On a adoré ! De la montée par l’ascenseur à la sortie tout était génial et très bien présenté ! Très ludique, on a en plus pu participer à l’explication d’une personne du musée / labo. Vestiaire gratuit et prix du ticket (35€ pour deux) finalement bien rentabilisé car nous y avons passé un peu plus de 2h ! Seul regret de ne pas avoir pris un billet combiné pour faire le zoo

La biologie pour tous !
J'ai beaucoup apprécié passer du temps dans ce musée qui m'a rappelé mes années de fac. A l'étage on y découvre la microbiologie, avec des interactions entre les êtres vivants, des cultures cellulaires, une belle collection de microorganismes en Pétri. Le rez-de-chaussée est plutôt orienté biotechnologies (fermentation, biocarburants..). Les expositions sont très ludiques, et conviennent totalement à ceux qui ne sont pas du domaine, au contraire, c'est l'assurance d'apprendre plein de chose ! Un monsieur est même présent pour donner des explications supplémentaires. Toutefois, je le trouve moins adapté aux jeunes enfants.

Leuk museum
Ontzettend leuk dat er nu ook een dierentuin is die aandacht heeft bacteriën en schimmels. Het is mooi opgezet en ingericht. Het enige minpuntje is dat als het een beetje druk is, zoals afgelopen zaterdag, dat je staat te wachten om door een microscoop te kunnen kijken.

Excellent !
Il n'était pas prévu dans le planning et puis on avait un peu de temps, il était inclus dans notre pass... Et on n'a pas été déçues bien au contraire ! Ce musée est vraiment incroyable ! Une réelle expérience immersive, des tas d'infos géniales ! C'est tout ce monde qui vit avec nous que l'on ne voit pas, parfois fascinant, parfois répugnant ! Mais tellement captivant ! Allez-y sans hésiter ! (Pas de français par contre c'est mieux si vous comprenez l'anglais) Il y a aussi un jeu pour les enfants (ou grands enfants!) de collecte des microbes ;)

Un mundo microscópico a simple vista
Fantástico museo para aprender sobre el mundo microscópico, para adultos y pequeños. Sobre todo para los pequeños puede ser una gran experiencia que les introduzca un poco más en la ciencia y el conocimiento de nuestro mundo. Muy interpretativo y textos sencillos, aunque estén en inglés lo entenderán perfectamente.

Una hermosa experiencia
Soy microbióloga y la forma en la que presentan los microorganismos en este lugar, es hermosa! Me encantó, disfrute cada microorganismo, cada explicación. Quizá sería mejor si hubiese alguien que estuviese pendiente cuando hay personas con dudas. Por mi parte me puse a explicarle a algunas personas qué es lo que veían y la pasé genial jeje

Interessante ma migliorabile
Idea interessante, andando verso le 15 non era affollato, inserirei del personale all'interno per qualche delucidazione. Prezzo forse un po' caro, premio però l'originalità. È vicino allo zoo e ad un ampio spazio all'aperto con tavoli e sedie

Intressant och ovanligt
Interaktivt museum med ovanligt fokus (mikroorganismer). Lite för mycket folk under besöket gjorde det svårt att testa allt, men på det hela taget välorganiserat och med tydlig besöksordning. Lagom med skyltar och intryck.

imponerend mooi en interessant
dit museum zou iedereen een keer moeten bezoeken al is het alleen al om te ervaren hoe prachtig het is ingericht

Fascinerende; illustrativ og interaktiv
Fascinerende udstilling, der både er illustrativ og interaktiv. Det er måske ikke det oplagte for en mikrobiolog, men andre med interesse i biologi, kan passende besøge stedet. Både for voksne og for børn.

Veel te vertellen over zoiets kleins
Mega interessant dat er zoveel te vertellen is over microben die zo klein zijn dat je ze niet eens met het blote oog kan zien. Ook een leuk mini college over de voortplanting van algen.

Spannend und informativ
Spannend und informativ. Es war sehr interessant einige Mikroben selber durch ein professionelles Mikroskop anzusehen. Die Themengestaltung war vielfältig und wurde der Breite des Themas gerecht. Die Beiträge waren sind für alle Levels von Vorwissen verständlich und interessant und bei Fragen war immer jemand vom Museum zu finden der diese beantworten konnte. Mein Highlight waren die Leuchtbakterien und Fische

Spannende Microwelten
Dieses Museum hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Welt der Mikroorganismen wird hier sehr anschaulich und leicjht verständlich gezeigt. An jeder Station kann man selbst etwas entdecken oder bedienen. Zusätzlich kann man in einem Stempelheft bei dem Rundgang 30 Microorganismen sammeln.

Spannendes Museum
Sehr informativ, muss einen jedoch interessieren. Mir hat besonders gut der Scanner für die im eigenen Körper vorhandenen Mikroben gefallen, auch die Ameisenfarm war sehr spannend. Leider etwas teuer...

Un'esperienza...
Conoscere meglio il micromondo che ci circonda... consigliato da visitare con i bambini, ma interessantissimo anche senza.

Un lugar que todo microbiologo debe visitar!
Micropia es un museo dedicado a la microbiología muy bien planeado. Es un lugar que si tienes tiempo debes visitar, aunque no seas microbiologo, porque aprenderás más de los microorganismos. Fui caminando y conocí zonas de Amsterdam que no siempre son visitadas por la mayoría de los turistas. Muy recomendado!

Sorprendente
Gratis con la museum card l'ho visitato solo per completezza, invece mi ha stupito. Un museo scientifico in chiave moderno ben impostato. 2 piani da visitare con calma e curiosità.

Super spændende og informativt
Udstillingerne er spændende og informative og man leger informationen ind. Personalet er søde og imødekommende og entusiasmen smitter! Absolut et besøg værd!

Excelente para ir con niños
Un lugar genial para que los niños aprendan y se diviertan con la ciencia. No dejará de sorprender todos tus sentidos relacionado con el mundo de los microorganismos

Spændende og informativ
Vi besøgte zoo i kombination med et besøg på Microbia. Begge dele er helt klart et besøg værd og man skal sætte en hel dag af til det. Vi brugte to timer i Microbia og frem i selve zoo. I Microbia får man et godt indblik i hvordan vi er omgivet af og til dels afhængig af bakterier og andet småt i vores hverdag. Der er desuden mange forstørrelsesapparater der viser forskellige bakterier. Bemærk at børn bør være mindst 9-10år for at få noget ud af et besøg her.

Sjov oplevelse.
Man starter besøget med at køre op i elevatoren, mens man ser en lille film, der zoomer ind og zoomer ind. Når man kommer op i udstillingen, kan man se mange sjove ting i mikroskoperne - jeg synes især laverne var flotte. Er et godt supplement til besøg i zoo.

Häftigt. Missa inte!
Mycket häftig utställning med väl utförlig information som tvingade en att interagera. Väl utformad och roligt! Snygg design! Missa inte Europas enda microbutställning
