Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket displayed on your phone is accepted at the entrance — no printing needed.

My children are under 18 — do they still need a ticket?

Yes, but admission is free for visitors under 18. You'll need to obtain a complimentary ticket for them in advance, which can be booked directly through the museum.
