@big_ed25 Hi Edgar, the Museum will be open in the afternoon that day, but we aren’t doing pre-sales yet as that time is TBD due to the mini marathon.

@IMSMuseum hi quick question why on the website to buy tickets for general mission the date Saturday, May 2 is great out and not allowed to buy tickets. I understand it’s the same day as the 500 festival mini marathon, but the museum should be open so how do you buy tickets??
