Companion

At the Van Gogh Museum, young people get in free, which makes the cost of a family visit mostly the adults’ tickets. The catch is that free does not mean walk-in: every visitor needs a valid ticket, including the free youth tickets, and each ticket is valid only on the day and time you chose. The trade-off is flexibility: purchased tickets are not refunded, so if a child is unwell or the morning runs late, the slot is lost. Visitors who cannot move through the museum on their own may bring a companion for free, and the companion ticket includes the audio tour.
