This National Geographic exhibition features more than 100 priceless treasures. The exhibition begins with an introductory film – an overview of King Tut’s world narrated by award-winning actor Harrison Ford and produced by National Geographic. (See video below.)
Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs takes you back 5,000 years in time and explores what it was like to live like a pharaoh through the “Golden Age,” when Egypt was at the height of power and artistry. The exhibition spans 2,000 years and some of the most notable leaders of ancient Egypt. More than 100 artifacts from the tombs and temples of King Tut, his ancestors and contemporaries bring this rich history to life.

The only way you can get a AAA discount is by having a CODE from AAA as well as your card, and it’s good all day Mon-Thurs but only after 5pm on Fri-Sun. With the Costco vouchers you don’t have to reserve online, but you can. The vouchers aren’t good on holiday weekends (which are listed on the voucher iteself), but that’s the only restriction that I know of. All the tickets are dated & timed.
The Costco tickets are vouchers with a code that you redeem online. Unlike regular online ticket purchases, there are no surcharges or transaction fees with these vouchers.
Are the Costco tickets dated and timed for entrance time? If not, when can they be used?
I went on a Twilight Tuesday night, just last week. Not crowded at all! Had a great time. However, I did not get the Pharoh’s Gold Card. Was that suppose to be picked up at the front counter? (if you know?)
Know of any discounts at the counter? e.g. AAA card or the like?
thanks.
Cool. Thanks Russell. (I love it when people post info on deals! I checked it out and added the info for getting the deal above. If you go, write in and tell us about it.
