Short answer

Every ticket is for a set entry time. Buying online is cheaper: adults $24, seniors $22, youth $20, plus $1 per ticket. At the museum they are $27, $25 and $23.

In detail

The museum sells tickets by time slot. A little planning saves money and a wait.

  1. Buy online if you can.

    Online prices are $3 lower per ticket than at the museum, with a $1 fee per ticket.

  2. Pick your time.

    A ticket is valid only for its date and time.

  3. Buying on the day?

    Tickets from the Visitors Center are for the next available entry time, which may not be right away.

  4. Mind the last entry.

    The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm. The last ticket is sold and the last entry is at 4:15 pm.

  5. Children.

    Children 0 to 5 are free.

Tip. The visit takes about 90 minutes, so a 3:30 pm entry still leaves time before closing.
