The short answer
The same Moco ticket costs anywhere from about 14,95 EUR to 24,95 EUR, a spread of 10,00 EUR on one museum, and which end you land on depends on the hour you pick, the ticket type and what is in your wallet. The museum publishes those three things on three separate pages and adds them up on none. As a museum it is the small, modern, loud one between two giants: Banksy, Warhol, Basquiat and Kusama in a 1904 villa, about an hour and a half of it.
- Your Museumkaart does not get you in free. Moco is privately owned, so unlike the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh two minutes away, the card is worth 30 percent off rather than admission. That is 13,96 EUR on the cheapest ticket.
- An early or late slot is up to 5,00 EUR cheaper, by the museum's own statement. It prices by time of day, which is the cheapest saving available here.
- Paying 4,00 EUR more buys freedom, not a better museum. 19,95 EUR ties you to a slot, 23,95 EUR lets you walk in whenever, and one euro beyond that also skips the queue.
- No wheelchairs, no mobility scooters, no strollers. The building is protected, full of stairs, has no lift and the museum says it is not allowed to add one. It is the one museum here that cannot take you.
Three tickets, and what the difference actually buys
Moco sells the same museum three ways. The gap between the cheapest and the dearest is 5,00 EUR and none of it is art: it is all about whether you want to commit to an hour.
Moco Museum tickets, from-prices per adult
| Ticket | From | Rated | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online, with a time slot | 19,95 EUR | 4.6 | The cheapest way in. You pick a slot and you turn up in it |
| Flex | 23,95 EUR | 4.7 | Any time on any day during opening hours, no slot to choose |
| Priority | 24,95 EUR | not published | Same freedom as Flex and you skip the queue. The museum prices it at one euro over Flex |

Ticket types, prices, card policies, opening hours, access rules and both stated visit durations read from mocomuseum.com on 13 October 2026, across its Amsterdam page, its ticket page and its FAQ. Prices are from-prices per adult and the museum prices by time slot, so the figure you see will move with the hour you pick.
Then there is the part that moves the number more than the ticket type does. Moco prices by time slot and says a discount of up to 5,00 EUR is available early or late in the day. Put that against the 19,95 EUR online ticket and the realistic floor is about 14,95 EUR. Against the 24,95 EUR Priority ticket at a busy hour, that is a 10,00 EUR swing for walking through the same door.
The card question, museum by museum
This is the part that changes the order of a museum day. On the Museumplein the three big museums are a two minute walk apart and they do not treat your card the same way.

Ticket types, prices, card policies, opening hours, access rules and both stated visit durations read from mocomuseum.com on 13 October 2026, across its Amsterdam page, its ticket page and its FAQ. Prices are from-prices per adult and the museum prices by time slot, so the figure you see will move with the hour you pick. Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House prices and card policies from our own pages on each, measured in September 2026 from the museums' own ticket shops.
If you hold a Museumkaart, Moco is the only one of the three that charges you, and the way to think about it is that your card turns a 19,95 EUR ticket into a 13,96 EUR one while the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, at 25,00 EUR each, cost you nothing at all. That is not an argument against Moco. It is an argument for doing Moco on the day you are not using the card to its limit.
The I amsterdam Card runs the other way, and it is worth noticing because it contradicts what happens at the Anne Frank House, where that card is worth nothing. Here it includes admission. In both cases you still have to reserve a slot before turning up.
How long it takes, according to Moco and also to Moco
Two pages on the museum's own site, both live today, give two different answers. The practical information says approximately 60 minutes. The FAQ recommends 90 for a relaxed tour of the whole collection, and adds that the shop and the Moco Garden are on top of that.
We are flagging it rather than picking one, because the difference is the difference between fitting Moco around another museum and not. Budget the hour and a half. If you are quick you will have bought yourself time; if you had planned on the hour and the museum is busy, you will be the one checking your watch in the Banksy room.
What can stop you at the door
Moco is the bluntest of the Amsterdam museums about its own limits, which is to its credit. These are its rules, not our reading of them.
Moco Museum, the restrictions worth knowing first
| Rule | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| No wheelchairs and no mobility scooters | Not a recommendation, an impossibility. Villa Alsberg is a protected historic building full of stairs with no lift, and the museum states it is not allowed to install one. Of the three museums on the Museumplein this is the only one that cannot take you |
| No strollers or buggies inside | Same reason. You can leave one in the Moco Garden by asking a staff member, which is more than most places offer, but you carry the child round the stairs |
| No luggage, and no cloakroom for it | The museum says plainly there is no space for luggage of any kind and points you to a paid locker service on the Museumplein, 125 metres away |
| Under 16s cannot come in on their own | An adult has to come with them. Children up to 4 are free |
| Five minutes of grace on your time slot | Arrive at the start of your slot and entry is guaranteed. Outside that window the museum does not promise to let you in straight away, which matters because the cheap ticket is the one with a slot |

The accessibility one deserves saying first and plainly: if anyone in your group uses a wheelchair, Moco is not possible. Not difficult, not partly accessible. The museum says the building has lots of stairs, no lift, and that it is not permitted to install one.
What visitors actually make of it
We have not been, so instead of an opinion here is the spread of public scores, which is more useful anyway because the gaps between them say something.
Moco Museum ratings, by source
| Source | Rating | Reviews |
|---|---|---|
| 4.2 | 28,758 | |
| Tripadvisor | 4.3 | 5,298 |
| GetYourGuide | 4.4 | 18,709 |
| Viator | 4.1 | 1,835 |

Ratings and review counts as shown on 13 October 2026: Google and Tripadvisor from the search result panels, GetYourGuide from its own listing, and the 4.5 the museum publishes on its Amsterdam page. Different samples and different audiences, which is the point of listing them side by side.
The biggest sample gives the lowest score: 4.2 on Google from 28,758 reviews, against the 4.5 the museum prints on its own page. That pattern is normal, because people who buy a ticket through a booking platform and then rate it there are a self-selected crowd, while Google catches everyone. A 4.2 from nearly thirty thousand people is a good museum that is not for everybody, which matches what it is: loud, modern, photogenic, and small.
The Heineken combination ticket, checked
Moco sells a joint ticket with the Heineken Experience for 40,00 EUR and labels it as 10 percent off. We can check that, because we priced the Heineken separately: 24,95 EUR for the standard Heineken Tour plus 19,95 EUR for the cheapest Moco ticket is 44,90 EUR, so the combo saves 4,90 EUR, which is 11 percent. The label is honest.
Two conditions though. It is 18 plus, because of the Heineken half, so it is out for families. And the museum states that discounts and promotions cannot be combined, so if you were going to use the Museumkaart's 30 percent, you are choosing between the two.
Getting there and getting in
Moco is at Honthorststraat 20 on the Museumplein, next door to the Van Gogh Museum, in Villa Alsberg, built in 1904 and a museum since 2016. It opens 09:00 to 20:00 every day, which is a longer day than either of its neighbours and the reason an early or late slot is genuinely available rather than theoretical.
The audio guide is included and free, but you need to bring your own headphones, which is the kind of thing you want to read before you leave the hotel rather than at the desk. There is air conditioning, there is a garden, there is no luggage storage of any kind, and dogs are out unless they are registered service dogs.
Questions people actually ask
Is the Moco Museum worth it?
It depends on which museum you are giving up for it, because on the Museumplein you are rarely choosing in a vacuum. Moco is modern, contemporary and street art, Banksy and Warhol and Basquiat and Kusama, in a 1904 villa, and the museum itself says a visit takes around an hour. The Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh are 25 euros each and take most of a morning. Moco starts at 19,95 and can drop to 14,95 in an early or late slot, so as a second or third museum it is the cheap one. The public verdict is good rather than ecstatic: 4.2 on Google across 28,758 reviews, which is the largest sample anyone has and also the lowest score. If you came to Amsterdam for Dutch masters, this is not that.
How much does the Moco Museum cost?
From 19,95 euros for an online ticket with a time slot, 23,95 for a Flex ticket you can use any time, and 24,95 for Priority, which is Flex plus skipping the queue. On top of that the museum prices by hour and offers up to 5 euros off for an early or late slot, so the real floor is about 14,95. Children up to 4 go free. A Museumkaart does not get you in free here but takes 30 percent off, which on the cheapest ticket is 13,97.
Does the Museumkaart work at the Moco Museum?
No, and this is the thing to know before you plan your museum day. Moco is privately owned and not affiliated with the Museumkaart, so the card does not give free entry the way it does at the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum two minutes away. What it does give is a 30 percent discount, at the door and online. The I amsterdam Card and the Stadspas are a different story: both are accepted and include admission, though you still have to reserve a time slot first. The ICOM card gives 20 percent at Moco Barcelona and nothing in Amsterdam.
How long does the Moco Museum take?
The museum gives two different answers on two of its own pages. Its practical information says a visit takes approximately 60 minutes; its FAQ says the museum is relatively small but recommends taking an hour and a half for a relaxed tour of the whole collection, plus however long you want for the shop and the garden. Plan for 90 minutes and you will not be rushed. It is the smallest of the three Museumplein museums by some distance.
Is the Moco Museum wheelchair accessible?
No, and the museum is unusually direct about why. Villa Alsberg is a protected historic building with lots of stairs and no lift, and Moco states it is not allowed to install one. Wheelchairs and mobility scooters cannot be accommodated. Strollers and buggies cannot go in either, though you can leave one in the Moco Garden by asking a staff member. Of the three museums on the Museumplein this is the only one that simply cannot take you, so if accessibility matters, the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum are the ones to plan around.
Is there a 2 for 1 ticket for the Moco Museum?
Not a 2 for 1, but there are combination tickets and one of them is a genuine saving. Moco plus the Heineken Experience is 40 euros, against 44,90 if you buy the standard Heineken Tour at 24,95 and the cheapest Moco ticket at 19,95 separately. That is 4,90 off, about 11 percent, and the museum labels it as 10 percent. It is adults only, because of the Heineken half. Discounts and promotions cannot be combined, so the combo and the Museumkaart discount are an either-or.
Can you change or refund a Moco Museum ticket?
Tickets are non-refundable, but you can change the date and time yourself up to the day of the visit using your ticket number, and that only works for reservations made on the museum's own website. If you bought through a partner site you have to go and book a time slot separately on the museum's site and bring both tickets. Worth knowing before you buy on a platform to save a euro.
About this guide
Written by Diego Fresno, who spent five days in Amsterdam in November 2018 and publishes this guide independently. Checked for this page: the three ticket types and their prices, the time-slot discount, the Museumkaart, I amsterdam Card, Stadspas and ICOM policies, opening hours, both stated visit durations, the access rules and the combination ticket, all read from mocomuseum.com on 13 October 2026 across its Amsterdam page, its ticket page and its FAQ. The Heineken, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh and Anne Frank figures come from our own earlier measurements of each. Not checked: the museum itself. Nobody on this site has been inside Moco, so there is no description of the rooms and no opinion on the collection here: this page prices it and tells you what can stop you at the door. The ratings are other people's, quoted with their sample sizes so you can weigh them. And prices move by the hour, so treat every figure as the floor rather than the price you will see.
