Group Visit FAQs

What if I do not book in advance?

We strongly recommend you book your group visit in advance. Drop-in group visits of 10 or more people may be asked to divide into smaller groups due to Museum capacity. On high attendance days, group visits may not be accommodated.

How do I get the group discount?

The group visit discount is only available for groups of 10 or more full priced admission tickets. Tickets must be purchased in person at the time of the visit. Discounted tickets cannot be bought in advance. The group visit discount is 10% off and will be automatically applied at the time of ticket purchase.
