Museum Free Days

The Museum is pleased to offer four Free Days in 2012 in appreciation for the important Zoo, Arts and Parks funding we receive from Salt Lake County.  The next Free Day at the Museum is scheduled for Monday, July 9, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Advance ticket reservations are strongly recommended.

Advance reservations for free tickets for the next Free Day scheduled for Monday, July 9, 2012, will be available starting Tuesday, July 3, 2012, at 12:00 Noon MDT. Advance ticket reservations for Free Day are available only online via the "Buy Tickets" webpage.

When making reservations, you will be asked to select a time to start your visit.  If you are not able to make a reservation for that time slot, it means that it is sold-out and that reservations are no longer available for that start time.  Please select another time.

Phone reservations are not available.

For Free Days, you may visit without an advanced ticket. We set aside a number of tickets specifically for those walking-in, without advanced reservations. However, you may be asked to wait or, unfortunately, be turned away.
