Please note that we've made some important changes to our Groups program for guest and staff health and safety and to comply with local guidelines:
- If your group is up to 12 people you can book your tickets directly online here.
- Learn more about how to plan safer social interactions in public spaces.
- Advance, timed-entry tickets are required for all guests. Please keep in mind that a limited quantity of tickets are available for each 30-minute entry timeslot.
- Masks must be worn at all times except when actively eating or drinking. Masks are required for all guests ages 3 and up, indoors and outdoors.
Group tickets & pricing
Groups consist of 10 or more guests. All guests, including groups, must purchase timed-entry admission tickets in advance. Please note that not all entry times may be available on the date of your choice. As always, the further in advance you book, the lower the price and the greater selection of entry times.
Your 10% group discount will be automatically applied at checkout. Ticket prices may vary by entry time and date. Children 2 and under and Academy members always visit for free!
