Museum Admission

COVID-19 Update – Now Open

We are pleased to be reopening the National Comedy Center and Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum starting Friday, July 3rd at 10 am. The health and safety of our guests is our highest priority. We have implemented LaughSafe, our new, state-of-the-art program designed to ensure a healthy, safe and worry-free experience for you during your visit.

During our initial reopening weeks, we plan to be open Thursday through Monday and closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. We request that guests reserve their admission tickets online in advance to ensure your reservation time as we reduce capacity for safe social distancing. All guests and staff will be required to wear face masks and undergo a temperature check prior to entry.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the National Comedy Center and Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum.

More than 50 immersive exhibits take visitors on an interactive journey through comedy history, from early vaudeville acts to the latest viral memes. Cutting-edge personalization technology makes the entire experience unique: After creating a humor profile, visitors can explore content tailored to their individual tastes, from broad slapstick to edgy satire. Along with educational games and fun competitions, guests can step into the shoes of comedy pros, trying their hand at cartooning, comedy writing, live stand-up, and faux pie fights—or simply cheer on their friends.
