Group Passes

Please note you are reserving free group passes for the National Air and Space Museum Washington, DC location.

Free timed-entry passes are required to visit the DC Museum. Entry times for groups range from 10 am to 3 pm. Group reservation availability ranges two to three months in advance (schedule can be found at FAQ).

Ten is the minimum number of visitors for a group reservation and the maximum of 55 per email request. Up to two reservations of 55 per group can be submitted for one day. If you require more than 110 timed entry passes, we suggest that you have a different group point of contact (with a different email address) make any additional reservations.
