Tips for planning your trip and extra costume and fabric sites
- General line info
- All tickets will be for timed admittance. "Tickets will be sold
in 15 minute increments to control the flow of people and to minimize
waiting queues. You should plan being inside the exhibit for at least 50
minutes to really experience/enjoy the exhibit."
- Go to the bathroom before going in; once you leave, you
won't be let back in unless you buy another ticket! However,
occasionally you can get a guard to let you in and out just don't plan on
it.
