Glenstone has two ongoing programs for guaranteed walk-in entry—visitors using these programs do not need to schedule a visit in advance. 

Students 12 and older (including college and graduate students), educators, active-duty military members, veterans, and museum professionals enjoy guaranteed entry for themselves plus one guest, 12 or older, upon presenting a valid identification card at the Arrival Hall. 

Due to the fragile nature of the works on view, all visitors must be at least 12 years old. Visitors ages 12 to 17 are welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult at all times. View our Age Policy.

Note for educators: if you are bringing a group of students to Glenstone, please schedule through our Educators and Students page.

Passengers who arrive at Glenstone on the Ride On bus (route 301) will receive guaranteed walk-in entry. The bus stops on our grounds, and visitors who exit the bus at Glenstone will be checked in by our Guides upon arrival. Please refer to the Montgomery County Department of Transportation website for information on trip planning, including parking guidelines.
