Visit Tips

Visit on YOUR schedule

Purchase your tickets now to avoid the stress of last-minute details and get into the exhibition faster. Make advance reservations online or by calling (651) 221-9444 or (800) 221-9444 to choose the best time for you and skip the box office line at the museum.

Avoid being rushed

Adding the Mystery of the Maya Omnitheater film to your Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed ticket package? See the 45-minute film before you visit the exhibition so you're not rushed through it to make your film showtime. We suggest you allow 90 minutes to see everything in the Maya exhibition.

Bring your camera!

Non-flash photography IS permitted in Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed. Snap away...and then share your photos with us!

Dress accordingly

Please be aware that the exhibition is kept at a temperature between 68 and 72 degrees and a relative humidity of 45%. This is the ideal temperature range and humidity level for the conservation of organic artifacts, but it may feel cool to some.
