Relax at a royal distance

Tickets: buy entrance tickets with timeslot in advance in the ticket shop. Parking is only possible if you have an e-ticket with time slot.
Start: please, do not come earlier than 10 minutes before the start of your timeslot. This way we keep the visitor flows clear and at a distance! You can stay as long as you like.
Entrance: after you have parked, you join the waiting boxes in front of the entrance building. We scan the tickets at the checkout. 1.5 meters: follow the walking routes and directions from the employees, then everything will be self-explanatory. Keep 1.5 meters away from other visitors and our employees.
Food and drink: the restaurant on the Stables Square, the Prins Hendrik Garage, is open. The number of tables inside is limited, so book a table in advance. You cannot reserve a place on the terrace, our staff will give you a table on the spot, when available. Restaurant Balzaal is closed.

To guarantee the safety of our visitors and employees, a number of choices have been made:

• Volunteers will not be deployed until at least July 1.
• The Orange walk is closed. Because this part does not belong to Paleis Het Loo, but to the Het Loo royal estate, there is no safety overview from the museum.
• The Children's Studio is closed. The 1.5 meter distance cannot be maintained here.
• There is one-way traffic for the mini presentation Royals, Pets and Animals and the Coach Houses with royal transport.
• There is no shuttle service available.
• Mandatory walking routes are indicated where necessary to comply with a 1.5 meter distance. For example for incoming and outgoing visitors.
• It is only allowed to come to the museum with more than 1 person if there is a group (people who jointly run a household or form a social unit).

• Is there contact between visitors and employees?
  Contact between visitors and employees is avoided as much as possible by using e-tickets and parking tickets. If you have questions, we ask you to keep the appropriate distance.
• Is there extra cleaning?
  Yes, our employees are around all day to clean toilets, benches and other touch surfaces. In addition, disinfectant hand gel is available at central locations or hand washing facilities have been realized.
• How many people are allowed to visit Paleis Het Loo at the same time?
  The guidelines for museums are 1 visitor / group per 10 m2. For Paleis Het Loo, this amounts to 1,200 visitors.
• How do I buy a ticket?
  All visitors are mandatory to buy a ticket online at our Dutch website. These are arranged according to arrival times so that we can spread the crowd of visitors.

It concerns the following subscriptions: Museukaart, BankGiro Loterij VIP-kaart, Rembrandt, Vrienden, ICOM or free ticket.
• Is Paleis Het Loo still accessible for people in a wheelchair?
  Yes, we are wheelchair accessible, but due to gravel in the gardens and the lack of the shuttle, we are not wheelchair friendly. Visitors in a wheelchair can book a € 0 ticket in the ticket shop. Escorts need a regular ticket. Wheelchairs are temporarily unavailable.

• Why do I have to answer additional questions about corona when purchasing tickets?
  It is mandatory to ask all visitors about possible complaints about corona. That is for our safety and that of our visitors. If you have (mild) complaints, we would like to welcome you at a later time.
