Price notesA $1 per-ticket convenience fee applies to online purchases. Flag: the museum's own August 2025 press boilerplate listed lower prices ($22 advance adult); the figures here are the museum's 2026 prices as carried in current listings - re-confirm on jfk.org at booking. The museum's FAQ confirms timed tickets must be purchased in advance and that the core exhibit takes about 90 minutes.

Age notesThe museum publishes no child-suitability guidance. Youth tickets cover ages 6-18 and children 5 and under are free; the band shown reflects the exhibit's subject - the assassination of President Kennedy - and is a recommendation, not a museum statement.
