Not as expensive as I was expecting for an art museum ($15 student ticket) but the space wasn’t big. The collections they did have were very cool, but it only occupied about 30 minutes of our time. Free coat and bag check

Went this weekend on a school field trip and it was a great experience! The students had an amazing time looking at all the amazing artwork. There are a lot of hidden passages that were easy to miss. We were able to leave off our drinks, bags, and not worry about out things getting lost. I will say the only thing I wish I had seen was maybe an Aztec/Hispanic artwork area, other than that it was all very culturally inclusive.

First Thursday of the month is free admission for everyone! Really cool museum. A lot of variety of different cultures but the museum itself is kinda small (I stayed there for almost 2h, being able to appreciate every single artwork)

I enjoyed my visit at SAM. Enough permanent exhibitions to keep you busy for 2 + hours. The European collection happened to be my favorite. It was sizable enough to impress and leave you feeling satisfied. Some of the contemporary exhibitions were enjoyable as well. It is suggested donation for general admission. The ticket counter won’t tell you that tho, at least that was my case. When I brought up the suggested donation they allowed me to donate what I wanted in exchange for admission. I definitely would return.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

What is the cost

Mike G | Aug 10, 2022
Robert Rael | Aug 11, 2022

They told us donation based along with the suggested donation. We arrived about thirty minutes before closing so we felt less of a donation was sufficient, but the lady kept reminding us of the suggested amount.
