Home > Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS > Planning Your Visit

Tickets for BODY WORLDS Vital are timed by the half hour and valid only for a specified admission date and time. A limited number of walk-up tickets may be available for sale at the museum the day of your visit.

Prepare for a day-long museum visit and allow for additional time to engage with museum's new interactive Science Studios, Explore YOU presented by Independent Health and Our Marvelous Earth, as well as our National Geographic 3D Cinema. Our third science studio, In Motion, also opens June 22.

Due to anticipated crowds, we recommend that tickets are purchased online in advance. Online orders can be printed at home.

On average, it takes 1 hour to go through the exhibit and therefore the last ticket for the day will be sold an hour before closing.

To ensure an enriching experience for all, BMS asks that a responsible adult, parent, guardian, or school chaperone accompany children under the age of 18.
