Quick overview: How to skip the lines at Moco Museum Amsterdam

The Moco Museum sits on Museumplein and showcases modern, contemporary, and street art. Long queues often form quickly, so expect waiting time of up to approximately 60 mins on busy days (typically March to August and weekends) and a short security check on arrival (usually a few minutes).

Direct timed-entry tickets (From €20 - 27): Book a specific entry slot online and skip the ticket desk. Best for flexible self-guided visits. Popular mid-morning slots sell out a week in advance during peak season.
Skip-the-line tickets (From €27.95): Same-day entry window plus “skip the line” at the ticket desk; lets you arrive anytime during the booked day. Good for last-minute plans and avoids the main ticket queue.
Combo tickets (From €40–60): Museum + canal cruise, Heineken, or other attractions. These save money and bundle guaranteed timed access to different attractions. Best if planning a museum-plus-sightseeing day.

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.
