Group Passes (16+)
To ensure the comfortability of all guests, any group of 16 or more people must reserve group passes in advance. We cannot accommodate admission for groups without a pre-arranged group reservation. Multiple reservations for the same party or organization will NOT be honored, unless previously coordinated with our Visitor Services team.
Group passes are scheduled on a first come, first served basis and must be booked 6 weeks in advance. Please fill out the reservation form below to request a group visit time slot. A staff member will follow up on your request soon.
If your group would like a facilitated classroom experience as part of your visit, please refer to our Adult & Corporate Groups or Field Trips & Youth Groups pages for more information.
