Hours of Operation

Many museums are closed Monday but have late hours on another weekday and are usually open on weekends. Some museums have days when admission is free. Popular attractions are usually open every day but Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Watch out for seasonal closures at smaller venues; we list opening hours for all sights we recommend, but these can change on short notice. If you’re visiting during a transitional month (for example, May in the southern part of the state), it’s always best to call before showing up.
