Is it a scheduled tour or do you go through at your own pace? How long would either take?

Pam Barnes | Oct 26, 2018
Ember Urbach | Oct 26, 2018

They have a 1.5 hr tour a few times a day, but you can do a self paced tour in about 2 hrs. I also recommend the holographic theater show.

It is free admission?

bay nguyen | Oct 26, 2019
Propht Droid | Oct 26, 2019

As stated, free on the 10th of each month for the 10 year anniversary. I also went on August 10th, though, and a significant portion of the museum was under construction. I would recommend calling ahead to see if it is completed before going. I took my parents, and they had to miss out on quite a bit of the experience. Also, totally recommend grabbing food at Kaufmann's and making a whole outing of it!

I do not remember personally. Out of respect, my wife and I left drinks and food in the car. I would ask if you have a medical condition that requires call constant hydration. Everyone was very logical and customer service driven at the Museum.

Sidnie Pruitt | Oct 26, 2018
Clayton Wootton | Oct 26, 2018

They have a coat room where you leave your coat. Then you go through a metal detector. Due to the nature of the exhibits there is higher security then I was initially expecting but it is understandable.
