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 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!
