Museum Tickets
Welcome Back, Museum Friends!
The Museum has reopened!
We Can’t Wait to Play Together Again!
As the Museum reopens, you will notice some changes including limited capacity, timed tickets, and enhanced sanitation protocols. While the Museum experience will be a bit different from the last time that you visited, one essential thing will remain the same: our mission to promote the importance of learning through play.
About Online Ticketing
To provide the best visitor experience and adhere to social distancing guidelines, we are reducing daily guest capacity and implementing a new timed ticketing system. Timed tickets allow guests to have more room to play! All guests, including members, must have a timed ticket to enter the Museum. Scroll down to book your ticket.
