Visitor Experience
Your visit starts at the Sprague Visitor’s Center, where you can buy tickets if you haven’t already. Browse our indoor exhibits while you wait for the trolley. Then, enjoy a 1.5-mile scenic ride, taking in the salt marsh and observing local wildlife like eagles and ospreys.
On the return trip, you’ll stop at the trolley barns for a brief tour of part of our collection. After your ride, don’t forget to visit the museum store! Tickets are valid for unlimited rides until closing, unless noted.
