Make the visit work for your household
- Choose one main stop and a nearby meal or outdoor break. Leave room for children to spend longer with one exhibit instead of rushing every gallery.
- Check the specific visit date, last admission, parking and whether a special exhibition requires a separate ticket. Do not assume a summer schedule applies in November.
- Ask about elevators, seating, accessible parking, sensory needs and whether a stroller fits the route.
- Before taking photographs, check gallery and cultural protocols. A public building does not mean every artwork, ceremony or cultural item may be photographed.
- Ask whether a resident discount, library pass or multi-site pass applies to your visit before buying tickets.
