Group Visit Guidelines
Group visits to Noah's Ark must be booked in advance and can only be scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with entry times between 12:00 and 3:30 p.m. The galleries are open until 5:00 p.m. Please note that groups will not have exclusive access to the exhibition. Due to space and staffing limitations, birthday party celebrations cannot be accommodated.
Group size: Groups must be at least ten people and no more than sixty people. The Skirball requires advance reservations for groups of this size to ensure space availability.
