For a family with children: yes โ four destinations in one ticket (zoo, aquarium, garden, planetarium) and a full half-day. For adults without children: the heritage grounds are lovely but the price is high for a short visit. Micropia alone is a unique experience that pleases adults.

ARTIS is the Netherlands' oldest zoo and one of Europe's oldest (1838) โ and more than a zoo: a historic botanical garden, museum, planetarium and aquarium, all in one green precinct in the heart of the city, its nineteenth-century heritage buildings among old trees making a wander a pleasure in itself. It holds thousands of animals in modern habitats โ elephants, giraffes and lions to the underground aquarium with its glass tunnels โ alongside Micropia, the world's first museum of microbes, a planetarium, and a tropical butterfly house. A rare mix making it an outstanding family half-day destination. In the quiet, lovely Plantage quarter, steps from the Resistance Museum and the Hortus Botanicus โ Amsterdam's green family lung.
