Skip the Line at Moco Museum Amsterdam

What does skip-the-line really mean for Moco Museum Amsterdam?

With the skip-the-line tickets, you can bypass the lines at the ticket counter and when entering the museum, but not the security check, which can take 10–30 minutes.

How long are the queues at Moco Museum Amsterdam?

Moco Museum Amsterdam sees over 800,000 visitors each year, and lines outside the museum can get long, particularly from March to August.

  • On busy days, the general admission queues can stretch down Honthorststraat in Amsterdam’s Museumplein area, with wait times up to 60 minutes between 11am and 6pm.
  • Even during off-season (November to February), unreserved entry can mean a 20–30-minute wait, especially in the late morning and afternoon. Lines may also move slowly due to crowd control and security checks.
  • Even with the skip-the-line entry, you’ll still need to queue briefly through security—typically 10–20 minutes, though it can be a bit longer on busy days.
