In-Depth Information
To determine if the pass is a good value for your trip, tally up what you want to
see from the list below. And remember, an advantage of the pass is that you skip to
the front of most (but not all) lines, which can save hours of waiting, especially in
summer. Another benefit of the pass is that you can pop into lesser sights that oth-
erwise might not be worth the expense.
Families:
The pass isn't worth buying for children and teens, as most museums
are free or discounted for those under age 18 (teenagers may need to show ID as
proof of age). If parents have a Museum Pass, kids can usually skip the ticket lines
as well. A few places, such as the Arc de Triomphe and Army Museum, require
everyone—even passholders—to stand in line to collect your child's free ticket.
