With no free day on the calendar, the numbers are what they are — $23 adult per adult, $46 for two, up to $92 for four adults. Bringing that down means the routes below: a membership that travels, a discount program you qualify for, or a library pass.
No upcoming free dates are published right now. Penn Museum announces free days on its official page — that's the place to watch.
Regular tickets ($23 adult) are on penn.museum — the official site is the place to buy; resellers only add fees. If you're hitting several Philadelphia attractions, CityPASS Philadelphia discounts a bundle of the big ones — confirm Penn Museum is in the current lineup first.
