Check out these thrilling events that only the Cummer could make happen during the pandemic. As the children get ready to return to school, don’t forget the safe haven of the Museum that awaits you this month.
NB: To help ensure our community’s safety, the Museum will admit a reduced
number of visitors each day. Please note, walk-up capacity is limited, so it’s
strongly recommended you reserve your tickets in advance. Masks are required
inside the Museum, when not eating or drinking. In order to prioritize the
health of our guests and our staff, and to minimize touch points and onsite
capacity, all visitors must reserve a timed ticket for entry. Timed
tickets are available Tuesday and Friday, 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or 4 to 9 p.m.,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, 12 to 4 p.m. Reserve Your
