Ticket sales, offers and prices
Article 2.1 The Bizarium is authorised to change its prices. All price quotations, announcements or otherwise information provided by BIZARIUM are without obligation. BIZARIUM accepts no liability for any errors made by BIZARIUM in price quotations, announcements or otherwise provided information to the Visitor. BIZARIUM is not liable for errors made by third parties either.
Article 2.2 The Visitor is at all times obliged to show the admission ticket and a voucher or any card giving entitlement to a discount on the admission price to the personnel upon request.
Article 2.3 Article 230p sub e of the Civil Code - Book 6, applies to all types of tickets purchased through the website. By virtue of that article of law, the right of withdrawal from the Distance Selling Act does not apply to leisure services. The potential visitor is not entitled to obtain a refund of the admission price or any other compensation in the event of loss or theft of the admission ticket before entering the museum complex. If a potential visitor does not use the pre-purchased admission ticket, this will be at the expense and risk of the visitor; this is also the case if the admission ticket is only valid for a certain time and/or date. Once an admission ticket has been obtained, it cannot be exchanged. No refund of the admission price will be made.
Article 2.4 The potential visitor may be denied access to the museum complex if it appears that the admission ticket was not obtained directly from the Bizarium or a body authorised by the Bizarium to do so.
Article 2.5 The Bizarium will refund the price of admission actually paid by the visitor only if the visitor is forced to leave the museum premises prematurely on account of an unannounced emergency assistance exercise (section 15 of the Working Conditions Act 1998), as well as in the event of an actual calamity which results in the complete or partial evacuation of the museum premises. Restitution will only be made if the visitor is unable to visit the museum on the same or the next day using the same admission ticket.

Article 4.4 In cases in which the safety of persons, goods or the collection reasonably requires it, BIZARIUM staff can demand inspection of the (hand) luggage carried by the Visitor.

If the Visitor refuses to cooperate, he/she may be refused admission to the Museum (for a longer period) without being entitled to reimbursement of the price of a ticket or to any other costs or damages.
Article 4.5 Other than with the prior written permission of the BIZARIUM management, the Visitor is prohibited from making visual or other recordings in the exhibition area.

BIZARIUM is authorized to demand surrender of any equipment found and to take this into safekeeping during the Visitor's stay in the Museum.

In doing so, the museum complies with the obligations arising from the General Data Protection Regulation and the guidelines drawn up in this respect by the Dutch Data Protection Authority. If an incident is recorded, such as a criminal offence, the images will be kept until the incident is dealt with. If the Bizarium sees fit, camera images will be made available to the police in accordance with the Police Data Act.

Force majeure

Lost and found
Article 8.1 Any objects found in the Museum by a Visitor can be handed in at the counter.

Article 8.3 In the event that the owner or entitled party reports a found object, they may choose to collect the goods themselves or have them sent cash on delivery. In both cases, the owner or entitled party must provide proper identification.
Other terms and conditions
