No passes needed for weekday trips to National Museum of African American History and Culture until 2020

Visitors can ditch timed entry passes on weekdays only.

WASHINGTON — If you haven't had a chance to visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture, now's your chance to go without waiting around for a ticket. 

From now until February 2020, visitors will not need passes beginning at 10 a.m. every Monday through Friday. 

You will, however, still need a timed-entry pass on the weekends. If you want a same-day online pass for a Saturday or Sunday visit, click here.

For groups of 10 or more, the museum still requires advanced timed-entry passes every day of the week. If you want a group pass to the museum, click here.

The museum is also offering a new discount for federal employees at their very own Sweet Home Café. The 10% discount is available every day the museum is open. You must show your federal ID badge in order to receive the discount. 

The museum previously offered a similar admission deal on certain Wednesdays in a promotion they called "Walk-Up Wednesday."

The museum is the largest cultural destination showcasing the African American story and its impact on American and world history.
