Partner tours add a live guide and sometimes other Solidarity sites, so their prices are not directly comparable with admission.

The partner options shown here are guided tours. To visit without a tour company, start with the official admission ticket.

Children and free admission
Children under 7 go free. There is no general weekly free-admission day for the public; free tickets are limited to specific honorific and institutional categories (Polish state honours recipients, 1980 August Agreement signatories, ICOM/ICOMOS members, museum staff, journalists, Pole's Card and Gdańsk Resident Card holders once a year, and others).

Online payment must be completed within 15 minutes of selecting a ticket, or it is released back to the general pool.
