Where to go first?
This exhibition is in the Hamilton Building on level 2. It may be most convenient to enter via the Hamilton Building (on the south side of 13th Avenue). You also can enter through the Sie Welcome Center. A bridge over 13th Avenue connects the buildings. Check in at the front desk for your admission sticker. Present your Wild Things ticket at the exhibition entrance at the time noted on your ticket to receive your audio guide.
How long does it take to see Wild Things?
The exhibition is filled with over 400 wonderful artworks and delightful surprises. We recommend planning to spend at least 1 1/2–2 hours in the exhibition to ensure you see it all.
Access
Wheelchairs, strollers, scooters, canes, and walkers are welcome in the museum. Wheelchairs and strollers may be borrowed for your visit by presenting an ID at one of the visitor services desks. Gallery stools are available on each level of the museum.
An online access guide will be available, so you can use your phone to take a closer look at the artworks and corresponding wall text. Look for a QR code inside the exhibition to load the guide onto your phone.

There are audio tours for adults and for youth and families, which are included with your admission to the exhibition. Both tours are available in English and in Spanish.
