Pre-booked free tickets to the Science and Industry Museum are valid for a specific date and time, so it’s important to arrive at the meeting point on time. Admission is for the permanent collection. The museum sometimes hosts special exhibitions and events that may require a fee. Participants can inquire with the guide about these experiences. Due to the attraction’s rules, 1 licensed guide can lead a group of 1-20 people. We will arrange additional guides for larger groups, so the price will be higher.
