Important information about museum admission: The Met has very strict rules about group reservations. We are required to register all groups and the museum charges admission at the group rates specified here. Museum admission is in addition to our fee. Secret City is an independent company and not affiliated with The Met. The museum considers our scavenger hunt to be a third-party guided visit, operated at their discretion. You can avoid the expense of museum admission by selecting a different hunt.
Disclaimer: Of course, The Met is an awesome museum and an amazing destination – and for that reason, it is the location for all kinds of events and goings-on. Unfortunately, that can often result in certain areas of the museum being closed off for private events. We are not able to know in advance what will be closed, nor can we restructure the hunt to avoid closures (since we are not informed in advance). Additionally, there is a lot of construction taking place in the museum right now. For all of these reasons, it may be best to consider our other offerings.
