I think it sucks that this is the ONLY FREE museum in D.C. that requires tickets..... EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT!! Since the museum has been open, I've been able to score tickets for my family of five exactly ONE TIME! Get rid of timed entry passes!!!

For the month of September only, the museum is allowing all patrons to enter with no timed entry passes. The catch is however that this is only for during the week. They will still require timed entry passes on weekends. This is for the month of September only.

It's free every weekday in February by just walking up.

Timed entry passes are the most equitable solution for such a popular museum. It reduces congestion both outside and inside the museum.
