When you purchase tickets, you will be prompted to select the day of your visit in addition to an entry time. The last entry time is one hour before we close. Please arrive within the hour of your reserved entry time. For example, if you purchase tickets for the 10:00 am entry time, we ask that you arrive between 10:00 and 11:00 am.
