National Park Service Announces Availability of Timed-Entry Tickets for New Lincoln Memorial Undercroft Experience Beginning May 26

Washington - The National Park Service announced today that timed-entry tickets for the new Lincoln Memorial undercroft experience will become available online beginning at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 26, in advance of the facility's public opening on June 25.

Advance tickets are available 30 days prior to visit on recreation.gov, or by calling 877-444-6777. Individuals may reserve up to six tickets per transaction. Tickets are free of charge, though there is a $1.00 service fee per reservation. Starting June 25, free, same-day tickets will be distributed daily beginning at 8:45 a.m. at the Korean War Veterans Memorial kiosk on Daniel Chester French Drive, just south of the Lincoln Memorial. Supplies are limited and demand is expected to be high, especially on weekends and during peak visitation periods.

The Lincoln Memorial undercroft is a new, 15,000 square foot exhibit area which will introduce visitors to a dramatic, previously unseen space beneath the memorial. This cavernous structural chamber contains a soaring grid of concrete columns that support the memorial above and offers a striking view of the engineering that made the iconic monument possible. The experience will feature interactive displays and a multimedia presentation that explores how the memorial's meaning has evolved over the last century.
