Is Micropia worth it in a day?

DependsIn a day

Micropia is a real time commitment — fit it in only if it's a priority.

Allow 1–1.5 hours.

A genuinely original, surprisingly engrossing museum — the body-scan and the living-microbe displays land with curious kids and adults alike. The catch: it's a single compact concept, on the pricier side per minute, and attached to Artis, so it's a one-hour highlight rather than a half-day.
