Once purchased, simply show your print-at-home ticket(s) at the point of entry to be scanned and gain access to the museum. Don’t have a printer? Not a problem! Use your mobile device to access tickets and gain entry to the museum.
• Become a member. Buy a membership online and enjoy free admission for one full year from the date of your purchase. All memberships include complimentary admission and ONE FREE Frost Planetarium show per visit. Access your personal account to schedule a visit.
