Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to visit is on weekday mornings right when the museum opens, as it tends to be the least crowded. If you prefer a unique atmosphere, Friday or Saturday evenings offer extended hours and a more relaxed, magical ambiance.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Flash photography and selfie sticks are strictly prohibited inside the galleries to protect the artwork and other guests.
Capture great family silhouettes in front of the massive windows at the Temple of Dendur.
Use the natural light in the Charles Engelhard Court for beautiful, candid portraits of your kids exploring.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

While The Met is family-friendly, it remains a place of quiet reflection for many visitors, so encourage children to use inside voices. Do not touch the artwork, statues, or display cases, as the oils from human hands can cause irreversible damage to ancient artifacts.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

The Met's spectacular Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Creche display during the winter holidays.
The annual Met Gala in May, which brings a buzz of fashion and celebrity to the museum's steps.
Lunar New Year festivals featuring interactive family activities, traditional dances, and special gallery tours.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Establish a designated meeting point, such as the Great Hall information desk, in case anyone gets separated in the massive galleries.
Hold your younger children's hands in crowded areas, especially near the popular Egyptian and Roman exhibits.
Stay hydrated and take breaks; the sheer size of the museum can easily lead to physical and sensory exhaustion for little ones.
