Any museum that puts hate speech on display without calling it such is highly suspect. There is no reason at all to include this except to introduce/promote hateful ideologies... and this message, right in the middle of the short exhibit about HIV was clearly deliberately placed. I am still shocked.

The museum visit was enjoyable. It was interactive where you can look into microscopes to see the microbes and collect chops at the various exhibits. I especially loved watching the ants exhibit. There was also an area that showed you how items such as bread looked like when left alone for years.

Although not as big, had exceptional and fascinating displays. Some were interactive with controls for the cameras or microphone. The place was clean and crisp, with the displays being quite well positioned and laid out to navigate. There were a few people there when we were there but it didn't feel crowded or choked at any one spot. Great place for kids, and great spot for tourists fascinated with microbiology or even biology in general.

Amazing place to learn about microbes, bacteria, and microorganisms. Cutting edge technology and interactive installation s. Most of the exhibits have live cultures under a microscope. They also run interactive lectures. Kid friendly. Must see, especially if you are interested in this topic.

Totally worth it. Incredible museum and a great experience. Only thing was that not all stamps were working properly, but that's just a detail.

Our visit to Micropia in Amsterdam was fascinating! The microscopic worlds presented here are impressive and provide a unique insight into the invisible life around us. The interactive displays and informative presentations enriched the visit greatly. A must-visit for anyone interested in the invisible wonders of microbiology!

A unique museum! It’s an expensive ticket if you’re paying full price, but there’s a lot to see and the exhibit is very unusual and fascinating. I loved collecting the microbe stamps! It’s a good way to make sure you see every part of the exhibit. You can spend a pretty long time here—the museum is small, but there are accompanying videos with every section if you want to watch.

(Translated by Google) great muesum. many interactions possible. Tip for young and old. (Original) tolles Muesum. viele Interaktionen möglich. Tipp für jung und alt.

(Translated by Google) What a great experience. There is a huge amount of information available about the smallest of life forms! It is also presented in a very nice way. You are not bored for a moment. There may be more interaction with assignments. I loved the ant colony. You can see up close how the ants work! In short: An asset to the city! (Original) Wat een geweldige ervaring. Er is enorm veel informatie beschikbaar over de kleinste levensvormen! Het wordt ook op een zeer leuke manier gepresenteerd. Je verveelt je geen moment. Er mag wel meer interactie zijn met opdrachten. De mierenkolonie vond ik geweldig. Je kan van dichtbij zien hoe de mieren werken! Kortom: Een aanwinst voor de stad!

One of my many highlights of Amsterdam! I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is so interactive and engaging, plus the ant colony was fascinating. Also caught a talk with one of the scientists that was interesting. Well worth the visit!

Great interactive experience, amazing presentations and very friendly people available to give explanations to the visitors. I loved it!

An outstanding exhibition. I have never visited a science museum as interesting and unforgettable as this one. I got to learn about a large number of microbes in the most fun and amusing way. I would definitely love to visit the place again someday.

We had a wonderful experience at Micropia! It's very interactive, and you can even collect stamps to track your visit. Don't forget to get your stamp card at the entrance! The museum is free for museum card holders. Strongly recommend as a weekend activity for both adults and kids. ⚠️ The elevator didn't work during our visit, so visitors had to use the stairs. Be aware if you need accessibility facilities.

Super interesting museum. Liked it a lot. Nice to learn and understand better the big role that microbes play in our life. Fun experience, looks like the children who visited liked it too. It is recommended to combine your visit with a visit to the ARTIS zoo.

Super cool place - loved the interactive exhibits. Displays were really informative and beautifully curated.

This was one of my favorite places we visited during our trip to Amsterdam! Entry was free with our iAmsterdam card, and we couldn't resist purchasing a little plush tardigrade to bring home! Super interesting exhibits with all kinds of interactive attractions. The staff were all lovely, and very welcoming. Everyone in our group agreed this was our favorite museum in Amsterdam!

Came to Amsterdam for a one-day trip. Bought tickets online for a set time at 14:00, although was able to get in sooner with it not being busy. It's on two floors with the route starting from the top and ending at ground floor. There are a lot of interactive displays with microscopes which is really cool. It has a their laboratory on display as well where you can watch the technician work. There are free lockers at the entrance so you don't have to carry everything around. The gift shop is small but has good items, to include an ale. We took our time and looked at most displays and interactives, and it took about 90 minutes. Would definitely recommend to people interested in microbiology.

One of the most interesting museums I have ever visited! It costs only €10 for students and even cheaper for kids. It is definitely worth seeing as you will some some mind-blowing things, read some weird facts and see how different microbes look like. It is definitely a unique experience. It will be also beneficial to your hygiene as you will definitely improve it after being in Micropia! Overall, a must-see museum in Amsterdam!

If you have any doubts or are second-guessing going to this museum, let me reassure you that it is AMAZING!! So educational, interactive, entertaining, and truly fascinating! I’m a nurse and had to take microbiology for my bachelors degree and this museum still had a lot to teach me. I have only been this blown away by a museum once, and it’s nice to see something so creative. The scientists and microbiologists behind this museum must really care because it shows through this museum. It was €17 when you buy an online ticket. They have restrooms and free lockers for you to put your things in before you walk around. It took me about 1.5 hours to walk through and that was after glancing over some material I was already very familiar with. Also you get a discount on a ticket to the zoo when you show your Micropia ticket. The gift shop was also so cool! I got two at-home Petri dishes for me and my wife to experiment with when we get back to the states!

A very nicely put together science museum dedicated to microorganisms. Kid friendly, informative, but also fun. It takes about an hour to see it.

We stumbled across this museum while searching for different science museums to explorer and we were not disappointed at all. Part of the ARTIS zoo and other attractions. If you want to learn the most, plan to be here for at least a couple of hours. We ended up spending 3 hours here and still did not read every placard. The staff were extremely nice and willing to answer any questions you may have. This is such a great museum to learn about many of the different microbes that exist in our world. We arrived early and nearly had the museum entirely to ourselves, which was great to be able to take of time to explore. If you are on the fence about going, you should take the time and explore the world that we can’t see with the naked eye.

Fantastic! The exhibits were very well put together and displayed. The staff were great too! Had a really long conversation with a woman who worked in the lab, not about microbiology but about politics. Very friendly, very informative and very fun! Really good value too. Highly recommend!

Biology teacher here, and this is exactly the sort of place I'd love to bring a class to. The layout works well. The interactive microscopes were probably a highlight for me, and the kids there seemed to be enjoying them, too.

Fascinating museum dedicated to an invisible world. Interesting and interactive exhibits. Definitely worth a visit!

Extremely well curated. Modern, insightful, educational. Was very impressed. Enjoyed the technician's talk at 4pm. Toilets and free lockers available. If you love art, natural science, or just want to visit a fantastic exhibition in Amsterdam - this is the place!

This is a very unusual and interesting museum that has no analogues in the world. You should definitely visit it when you get in Amsterdam. A visit will be useful for both adults and children.

Perfect for experience kids and adults

Great science expo, not only interesting for kids but also for adults. It's very small tho, so the entrance fee(normal rate is 16€) is a bit high. But if you like science it's definitely worth it.

It is a bit too small, but a good place for curious kids to check!

I never seen such a entertaining museum , definitely recommend!

Great museum. Informative and interesting.

Very interesting exhibition. The microscopic world is nicely presented with modern microscopes, which can be operated by the user. With vivid examples why this microscopic world is interesting. Another highlight is the unobstructed view of an leaf cutter ant colony.

Fascinating museum!

(Translated by Google) Fortunately, Micropia can be visited separately from Artis itself. Admittedly it is a small museum, but if you like biology, well worth it. You can see all kinds of bacteria through microscopes and there are all kinds of preparations to view. Micropia is also very rewarding and educational for children over 9 years old. The smallest is made visible here, for the first time and a new world opens up, full of hitherto invisible creatures ... (Original) Micropia is gelukkig los van Artis zelf te bezoeken.

Very interesting place! Great add-on to the Artis ticket

(Translated by Google) Unmissable. It is the only museum in the world dedicated to the world of microorganisms. Inside the museum you can find some stations with microscopes that allow you to look at different microorganisms, other stations are interactive. The explanations are clear and very interesting. The idea of ​​"collecting" the shape of various microorganisms through the stamps that can be found in the various locations scattered around the museum is very nice. Experience certainly to be repeated. Reservation required due to Covid19. (Original) Imperdibile. Si tratta dell'unico museo al mondo dedicato al mondo dei microrganismi. All'interno del museo si possono trovare alcune postazioni con microscopio che permettono di guardare diversi microrganismi, altre postazioni sono interattive.

Molto simpatica l'idea di "collezionare" la forma di vari microrganismi attraverso dei timbri che si possono trovare nelle varie postazioni sparse per il museo. Esperienza sicuramente da ripetere. Necessaria prenotazione causa Covid19.

Educative and interactive. Great pass time, specifically for kids.

Quiet and interesting museum for all ages.

so cool museum. the setup is very interesting. the room is not that big, but you spend good 2 hours at least reading all the information. it makes you remember that there a microworld all around us. you can watch live all the microorganisms using microscopes. you can cmobine it with a day at the artis zoo.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, I cannot judge as I was not allowed in at 5:00 p.m., although it was open until 6:00 p.m. I don't even know how much money I've paid for free now 😔 (Original) Kann ich leider nicht beurteilen, da ich 17.00 Uhr nicht mehr rein gelassen wurde, obwohl es bis 18.00 Uhr geöffnet hat.

(Translated by Google) Micropia amply catches up with the poor standard of the attached Artis Zoo. This exhibition is great, both for young and old, very fun and interesting, it will teach you a lot about microbiology, you would almost want to spend several hours there. (Original) Micropia ratrappe amplement le piètre niveau du zoo Artis rattaché. Cette expo est géniale, autant pour les petits que pour les grands, très ludique et intéressante, elle vous en apprendra beaucoup sur la microbiologie, on aurait presque envie d'y passer plusieurs heures.

(Translated by Google) Unlike the zoo which is really nice to do if you like the science side. Very interesting, interactive ideal for young and old alike. We learn a lot about the world of bacteria, viruses and microbes. I recommend. Possibility to take the time ticket separately from the zoo. Included with the IAmsterdam Card. (Original) Contrairement au zoo vraiment sympa à faire si vous aimez le côté scientifique. Très intéressant, interactif idéal pour les petits comme pour les grands.

Small but very interesting museum. Definitely worth to visit!

(Translated by Google) Nice museum (Original) Leuk museum

Very interactive exhibition with lots to see. Takes less than 2 hours to see everything, even if you do want to read every word on every sign.

Interesting look at the smallest but most important part of our planet

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, but it was way too busy, corona technical. (Original) Heel interessant, maar het was veel te druk, coronatechnisch.

Lots of interactive exhibitions. My favorite is the living ant colony.

Very interactive museum, especially interesting for kids. Expect to spend 1-3 hours here, depending on your curiosity.

Content: GREAT It's a very nice museum. In terms of the exhibitions and the explanations and the overall content, it was magnificent. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. I loved it. Purchasing tickets: BE CAREFUL! I think it is better to buy the tickets at the counter, I mean in from a human being, if possible. You will definitely need a credit card. But, even with that, we had some issues with booking tickets online while waiting in the line outside via the qr provided. I received the confirmation email, but it took some clicks here and there to download the file, and initially the thing wouldn't download. For my friend it was even more difficult. The confirmation email took several minutes to arrive, by which point we weren't sure if he had booked a ticket. Fortunately, a confirmation email from the bank reached before we tried buying another ticket. With all this, we anyway had to wait in line to talk to a person. It was all solved, but a little stressful, because we booked tickets for right away, and there are time frames for access and all this took a whole 15 minutes to resolve. But thankfully, for this museum it wasn't soo bad to be late. Maybe making the purchasing process easier with either PayPal or Google pay or something, so it is not so complicated for tourists from everywhere, the experience could be even better.

Got to know variety of viruses and how they are omnipresent. It's impressive to visually see there are literally billions of bacterias and viruses surrounding us. Really loved this museum. I would say if you have kids, it's a good showcase for them to ignite their interest in science and microbiology. When you visit the place, don't forget to receive a blank piece of paper and stamp it with as many bacterias as possible before exiting this place.

Truly delightful experience. The staff did their best and managed to squeeze me and my girlfriend in the last tour available. The info is accurate and very up-to-date. They have minor issues to fix( 2 displays were on maintenance and 3 stamps were broken) but other than that a BIG would recommend.

Really cool museum where you can learn a lot and we're now aware of some things that didn't occur to us before (which can result in a mild germ phobia 😆). We also got a cool water bear plushie (which then attacked our sick cat)

We were pleasantly surprised. The museum has found a captivating and interactive way to showcase a commonly unseen world. Great experience for people from all ages. I really loved it and would be more than happy to go again.

One extraordinary experience, despite microbiology is not a topic I am very interested, it succeeded in catching my attention and interest. My children loved it and the fact you can interact with many things and equipment made it amazing.

Absolutely loved the museum. Ability to watch in microscope is amazing!

I am a bit of a nerd and I have considered this visit equally interesting and unique. The exhibition's planning and material is awesome and we were able to keep entertained a 4 years old for 90 minutes while learning new and important concepts together. Amazing!

Great museum for the microscopic curious! You'll spend about 1½ to 2 hours here studying small things under microscopes, but also learning interesting facts about bacteria and germs and such. Recommended! But not to bring children too young.

Great museum! Even though it is small (feasible in 2 hours) it is full of great information for curious kids and adults! Really recommend ;)

Wonderful place for kids and adults. Educational in a fun way, lots of interactive activities, both in English and Dutch. We had lots of fun with experiments

Its a must see museum, also kids love it here. You can see actual microbes and it is so much fun

Loved it. Me and my partner came (26yo) and loved every minute of it, so interesting with the scientists walking around. Highly recommend for both adults and children!

Such an interesting and well made exhibition, loved it!

Very unique museum, but the best part is probably seeing the tiny living organisms with your very own eyes under many different microscopes. I thought I knew quite a bit about micro life, but I came out learning so much. You should really visit if you go to the zoo as well!

Wow! Micropia is a very modern, very interactive museum. It touches upon many fascinating topics, highlighting the relation of the knowledge laid out in the museum to our everyday life. It's very inspiring to learn how microbes can solve pressing problems in surprisingly elegant ways.

Absolutely awesome! I would have spent 4 hours in there if it wasn't for closing time. Super interesting and unique museum. Absolutely recommended if you are into biology even a little bit.

What a great place. Tons of information at each area and lots of interaction. Felt like being in school again- in a good way.

Literally the best museum in the world ! it allows you to understand a part of our nature and our environment that we often disregard, making especially interesting for young little kids who have tons of questions about the processes that naturally occur in their environment, as well as young students pursuing an amazing and fascinating career in natural science in which microbes are involved (and this range from biotechnology to environmental biology anf ecology), as well as to those adults who just want to learn trivia facts about all the contributions of microscopic life to the biosphere. Moreover, it is not an expensive museum to visit, while it offers interactive materials, and professionals to answer any questions you may have on the main theme: how we understand microorganisms and how to make the best out of our biological relationship with them.

Fascinating exhibits! You can see a tardigrade in action and interact with really cool installations. The real time body scan and kiss-o-meter were fun and instructive. The ant colony, collections of algae and mold were well presented. Has games built into some of the exhibits too. Highly recommended for kids and adults alike. It took us about 70 minutes to cover the entire museum. Baggage storage and toilets are available to visitors.

This museum probably stays under the radar to some people. If you are staying only for a few days -like a weekend-, I don't know if I would fully recommend it, but if you have enough time, you should definitely go. Also, I would recommend going to a coffeeshop first, to have an even more amazing experience.

As a microbiologist this was a number one visit! Absolutely loved it and great learning experience for those who want to learn more about microbes. Lots of fun activities for adults and kids!

Officially one of the coolest and most unique places to visit on the planet! An absolute must visit even if you are not into biology and similar domains. The displays are great, informative, and thought provoking. I loved the scanner and the info on the microbes lives :) Every corner of this museum is amazing. You have to visit it!

Lot of fun! I love microbiology and really enjoyed this museum. Tons of info for both non-scientists and scientists to enjoy. It was a bit crowded with a school group when we went but plenty of information to look at if one exhibit is busy. I'd recommend this if you're at all interested in microbes!

I could not imagine that it would be so amazing and interesting. I found it accidentaly and brought my friend who was not initially in for ti, but she was thrilled after we spent almost three hours there. A lot of interesting facts, very interactive and fun. I would recommend for everyone to see it and learn something about the world of microbes.

A must visit museum for any tween child. So exciting, so much to learn, so entertaining, too. Great presentation and very friendly and chatty staff who happily advise you on any curiosities you find questionable. Great souvenir shop at the entrance, too.

Great spot. Book directly with them. Get your guide never emailed me my ticket. Walk over and have tea next to the botanical cool spritzed area. You can also do the zoo and the museum if courageous.

Incredible place for everyone in love with science! The staff is very helpful and happy to answer any of your — even the silliest — questions. If you participate in stamp collecting, don’t forget to ask for the sticker on your way out. The kid in me was sooo happy to experience this.

Highly entertaining and informative museum. We loved Micropia! We visited as part of a combined ticket to the Zoo and dived into Micropia when the heavens opened. What we found was a highly interactive space where everyone is encouraged to explore the hidden world of microbes. My teenage children can be hard to please, but they were in their element here and were quickly engrossed. Upstairs, displays were well laid out, with microscopes at each station allowing the visitor to explore and wonder at the hidden realm that we are so reliant on. Downstairs, there was information about the human relationship with microbes, both good and bad. A visit to the zoo wouldn't be complete without a trip to Micropia.

Very interesting museum about microbes. This can inspire kids to want to lean more about microbiology. The museum is not big but puts the effort on using technology to explain and shows these microorganism in a very interesting way. We bought Artis zoo tickets so we could show these tickets to the front counter and add 8 euro per person to get into this museum. There are only two floors and not big. But we spent more than 1 hour because they have made it really well.

Super cool! Went with a group of adults, we all enjoyed the museum. Wish I could take my lab on a field trip here ☺️ I loved so many things, it’s hard to pick. I got excited when I saw they had a Microbe of the Month!

This is the place for all you science lovers. Enormous variety of cultivated bacteria. Perfectly safe and very fun. Real science Lab inside. Great place to bring your kids.

If you are interested in biology or just curious about the world of microbes, you simply MUST go here. Amazing interactive pieces, the staff were just fab, and thoroughly enjoyed the trip there. I will admit it was strange as a Brit paying €17.50 for one ticket into a museum, but worth it.

Very interesting museum, about life in micro. Lot of Fun, good for children and families, on the discovery of dna and microbiology.

Incredible, very unique experience that I never had at another museum. The blend of science and technology very much adds to the guest experience, and doesn't feel tacky. I would work here if I could.

Fun and informative museum. What I enjoyed most about the museum was that youre able to play with the microscope, smell the rotting food, interactive booths. Definitely a good learning experience especially for the young ones.

photo is kind of a spoiler :^) I loved it! even just looking at this wall only is so worth it, all the amazing colours and textures to see up close; lots of info, on different 'difficulty levels' makes kid/adult/anybody-friendly~ highly recommend (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

I didn’t think my four-year-old would enjoy this but boy-oh-boy was I wrong! He loved it and the wonderful woman at the counter (we didn’t get her name) was absolutely helpful. They made the museum so interactive that even the youngest but most curious minds are guaranteed to have a blast. A must-visit for sure!
