Your 30-minute check-in window begins at the time listed on your ticket above. Please arrive within 30 minutes of the beginning of your check-in time. If you arrive after your 30-minute window, we will accommodate you as space permits.

To manage capacity, everyone needs a ticket, including Members, people in the free admission categories, and even kids under 2 years old. Please select the appropriate ticket when purchasing. Discounted tickets will be verified at the entrance. See our FAQs “Discounts” section (below) for verification requirements.

As we are working with reduced capacity, only a limited number of tickets are available. Thus, advance tickets are required, and tickets are nonrefundable and nontransferable unless The Lawrence needs to cancel due to weather or atmospheric conditions.

Masks are required for all visitors 3 years old and up. Please observe standard social distancing. We follow the requirements of the University of California, which may be more stringent than those of state and local health departments.

All activities and amenities take place outside. The building is being used as a safe space for our summer campers, and to create an all-new experience for you when we reopen safely this fall. There will be no access to the building during Summer Fundays.

We do offer some discounts for various groups. To receive these discounts (listed below), please select that ticket type when you purchase. For discounted tickets, please be prepared to show proof of qualification at check-in. If you can’t show proof of qualification, then you will need to purchase tickets onsite:
