TICKETS

All visitors ages 4 and up need a ticket to enter the space.

We strongly recommend purchasing tickets online ahead of time, as this is the only way to guarantee entry for your desired day and time, as well as to have a contactless check-in.

A limited number of full-price tickets may be available at the door but they are dependent on capacity fluctuations and cannot be guaranteed.

We offer special pricing for students, seniors, military and first responders and sometimes offer special pricing for local residents. Please bring your ID or other documentation to confirm your status as a member of one of these groups at check-in.

All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. Tickets are non-transferable, non-exchangeable and absolutely cannot be resold. If you are gifting the ticket or purchasing for someone else, email the Box Office at dc@artechouse.com with details of the change. Changes of this nature can only be made by the cardholder.
