Student Group Exhibition Visits

Thank you for your interest in visiting the Museum's exhibitions with a student group. Museum admission tickets allow access to all of the Museum's exhibitions during the day of your visit. LEGO® Architecture: Towering Ambition and the Building Zone (for ages 2-6) both require a timed ticket that will be issued as part of the price of admission. Hour-long LEGO® tickets and 45-minute Building Zone tickets are available on the hour, every hour.  Before bringing a student group to the Museum, please review our Group Exhibition Pre-Visit Information and Policies.

Student Group Prices

  • Students (ages 3 and up) and Adults: $5 each
  • One FREE adult ticket is issued for every ten children if tickets are booked in advance.
  • Building Zone only: Timed tickets issued on the hour for students and adults are $3 each and must be purchased on the day of your visit.
  • Unlike our hands-on school programs, fees are not waived for Title I Schools, DC Public Schools or DC Public Charter Schools to visit the Museum’s exhibitions.
  • A limited number of admissions scholarships are available for Title I, DC Public, and DC Public schools who are already attending a school program. See below for more information.

Three Ways to Acquire Tickets

 

1. Purchase tickets at the Museum's Info Desk

Tickets are available for purchase on the day of your visit or up to two weeks in advance at the Museum's Information Desk. Tickets are sold Monday-Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm and Sunday 11:00 am - 5:00 pm. The Museum accepts cash, check, and credit card.

If you choose to purchase tickets on the day of your visit, there is a risk that tickets will be sold out for the time slot that you're interested in visiting the LEGO® and/or Building Zone exhibitions.

If purchasing tickets in person in advance, you will be able to request a time to visit the LEGO® exhibition. The 45 minutes that you would like to visit the Building Zone exhibition must be arranged when you return to the Museum for your visit.

2. Purchase Tickets Online

If the date you would like to visit the exhibitions is two or more weeks away and your group includes 10 or more people, you may reserve tickets in advance by filling out the request form. After submitting the request form, you will receive an email notifying you if your requested date and time is available and an invoice with payment instructions. If you fail to pay for the tickets by the due date, your reservation will be cancelled; you may still visit the exhibitions by purchasing tickets at the Museum’s Info Desk, as described above.

As part of your request, you will arrange a specific hour to visit the LEGO® exhibition. If you are also interested in visiting the Building Zone exhibition, the 45 minutes that you would like to visit the Building Zone must be arranged when you check in on the day of your visit. Before bringing a student group to the Museum, please review our Group Exhibition Pre-Visit Information and Policies.

3. Apply for an Admissions Scholarship

A limited number of exhibition admission scholarships are available during the 2011-2012 school year. Requirements include:

  • DC public school, DC public charter school, and/or a Title I public school (from any school district).
  • Interest in visiting the Museum's exhibitions on the same day as an already scheduled school program.
  • The application form must be filled out at least one month prior to the visit date.
