5/5 out of 98 reviews

Canal Cruise through Amsterdam & visit the Art Zoo Museum

Experience Amsterdam in two unforgettable ways with this exclusive combo ticket, including a complimentary drink.

Discover Amsterdam from the water
Smidtje Canal Cruises Amsterdam offers a relaxing cruise through the heart of the city, with breathtaking views of iconic landmarks, charming bridges, and historic architecture. During the cruise, an audio guide is available in multiple languages, and the skippers share stories about the city in an interactive way.

After the 75-minute canal cruise, it’s a pleasant 13-minute walk to the Art Zoo Museum. The route takes you through the charming Jordaan district, past the Nine Streets, and along the authentic Dutch canal houses on the Herengracht, before arriving at the museum.

Welcome to the Art Zoo Museum
Visit the Art Zoo Museum in Amsterdam, located in a stunning 17th-century canal house. Discover a modern interpretation of the traditional “cabinet of curiosities,” filled with artworks inspired by animals and nature. Dive into this world with the complimentary audio guide.

Walk among lifelike works by internationally acclaimed artists Darwin, Sinke and Van Tongeren. Their dramatic taxidermy art creates the feeling of a theatrical scene: feathers shimmer, muscles appear tense, and the eyes feel almost alive. From large aviaries, visitors can admire animals presented as classical still lifes, inspired by 17th-century Dutch masters. From colorful birds and snakes to crocodiles and even a T. rex, it feels as if they could come back to life at any moment.

In addition, this ticket includes a complimentary drink. Enjoy it in the museum’s beautiful historic garden, with a choice of tea, coffee, wine, beer, or soft drinks.

Fun fact: The Art Zoo Museum was named one of TIME.com’s World’s Greatest Places of 2026, yet another reason not to miss this experience!
