Museum of Broadway
Keep the whole day in a theater mood. Explore Broadway’s history before your evening show, and check the museum’s current opening hours when planning your visit.
Book Tickets ↗Plan attraction visits around your Broadway tickets
Book the performance you want first. Then choose daytime admission and travel plans that leave enough time for food, bags, security, and an unhurried arrival at the theater. A ticket to an attraction and a ticket to a show are separate bookings unless an offer explicitly says otherwise.
Times shown by each attraction follow its own admission rules. Don’t assume that an open-ended visit, a sunset experience, or a flexible ticket guarantees you’ll reach your theater in time. Check the details of the exact option you choose.
