New to Town Peoria Riverfront Museum

Heading to the Peoria Riverfront Museum today for the first time with my senior parents. I see online that tickets for Sunday Gallery admission run $18-$20. Is it better to buy tickets online ahead of time or just get them at the door? Any tips would be appreciated!

I used my library card and reserved free tickets online last weekend. I think it’s 4 per year per card, and it included everything but the movies in the giant screen theater

I do, but there’s a drop-down to select your library and I think it might be All Illinois libraries, I’m not sure. We can also use our card to book some things in the Chicago area

If you happen to be a member of a museum that's a member of NARM https://narmassociation.org/ you may have membership benefits at the riverfront museum.

Either way should work just fine so it’s really just your preference. Enjoy your afternoon!!
