Please note: General admission ticket sales will be limited on Sunday, May 12th as we welcome Boston Public Schools students and their families for BPS Sundays. We strongly recommend purchasing tickets in advance to guarantee entry. A limited number of tickets will be available onsite for walk-up purchases when we open at 9:00. Due to high demand on BPS Sundays, we expect to reach our building capacity in the afternoon, at which point we will no longer have tickets available.
