Enhance Your Experience

Insider's Museum Tour

There are average fans and then there are expert fans. Guests that upgrade to the “Insider’s Tour” will explore the museum galleries with our highly knowledgeable and experienced volunteer Docents and will learn fascinating behind-the-scenes stories about our collection not covered by our captions or interactive videos. Whether you are a first-time visitor or long-time member, through the insight of our Docents you will gain a new perspective on the history of the Game and context for the diversity of our collection and exhibits.
