It was difficult to find the right ticket office. Look for the light blue ticket agent in the back.

The tickets were 10€ more expensive than buying directly at the location, but buying with Tiqets saved us a lot of time because there was a very long line. We probably saved ±1 hour line, while the experience inside only lasted about 40 minutes. If you don't mind spending a bit more money to skip the ticket line, I would totally recommend this.
