TICKETING AND ADMISSION POLICIES

Access to The MoD’s current exhibitions and collections galleries is subject to the possession of a valid admission ticket. A valid admission ticket can be purchased on-site at a register or in advance online. All ticket recipients must be present during purchase. 

Admission tickets may also be obtained by presenting, redeeming, or exchanging one of the following:

  • An active Membership card to The AKC MoD
  • An employee ID from one of our active corporate sponsors or a valid corporate courtesy card
  • Library Membership card or confirmed reservation from an active Library Member
  • A guest pass issued by the AKC MoD
  • A group reservation
  • Any document authorizing free or discounted admission, as determined by The AKC MoD

Admission tickets are subject to inspection by Security or Visitor Experience personnel. Group admission tickets are subject to the terms of the group reservation. Membership benefits and other passes may not be used for group visits. Resales of any admission ticket without prior and express authorization from The AKC MoD are strictly prohibited.

Admission tickets are eligible for a refund, so long as 48 hours’ notice is provided. Within 48 hours, admission tickets cannot be refunded but may be transferred or exchanged to a later date. 

For Public Programs and Special Events, tickets cannot be refunded, transferred, or exchanged without 48 hours’ notice. This includes Furry Friday.

A visitor may be refused entry or access to the Museum galleries if the Museum determines that the admission ticket has not been issued by The AKC MoD or a body or a legal entity authorized by the Museum for that purpose. 

The AKC MoD may restrict access to, or close, any of its property and cancel and refund ticket reservations without advance notice, reason, cause, or explanation at any time. 

Select programs and events require the purchase of a ticket or a reservation in addition to, or instead of, an admission ticket.

Access to current exhibitions and the collection of galleries during non-public hours is by invitation only and requires the previous authorization of The AKC MoD.
