Advance Tickets

Priced the same as those purchased at the door except that the ticketing company charges a $1.82 ticket fee to buy on-line. However, we'll make it up to you by letting advance ticket purchasers in the door 30 minutes before opening time so that you can peruse our most popular exhibits before the crowds: the glowing UV mineral exhibition from the Franklin Mineral Museum and The Evolving Universe from the Smithsonian Institution.



Admission fee includes all exhibits, attractions, demonstrations, children's activities, mineral and fossil club freebies, dealer give-aways, and a $5,000 donation to the non-profit Franklin Mineral Museum.
