Know Before You Go

  • Advanced tickets are strongly recommended to secure your preferred timeslot.
  • BODY WORLDS: Vital is a timed-entry exhibit, which allows us to manage the number of guests in the exhibit, providing the best possible experience for everyone. 
  • If you have daytime tickets, especially late afternoon, we suggest you plan to arrive at the museum early to explore our core exhibits before BODY WORLDS: Vital, as those galleries and experiences close at 5:00 pm daily
  • Weekends and holidays are our busiest times. We ask that you only enter BODY WORLDS: Vital at your designated entry time. If you arrive earlier, you may be asked to return at the time stated on your ticket.
