Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Mobile tickets are accepted, so your booking confirmation on your phone is all you need.
What is the difference between the pre-orientation and the 2-hour guided tour?
The pre-orientation gives you a 30-minute introductory session with a guide to help you plan your self-guided visit. The 2-hour guided tour is a fully led experience with skip-the-line entry, covering key highlights of the collection.
Is the museum open every day?
No. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is closed every Wednesday. The pre-orientation tickets are available Thursday through Tuesday, with a separate Tuesday slot option.
Are children admitted free?
Children under 2 years old are admitted free of charge.
Is The Met wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the museum is fully wheelchair-accessible throughout its public areas.
How far in advance should I book the guided tour?
The 2-hour guided tour is a date-only booking, so it is worth reserving your preferred date as early as possible, particularly during peak season when availability fills quickly.
