Sloan-General Admission

GENESEE COUNTY RESIDENTS: Due to the 10-year Arts Education & Cultural Millage that voters passed in 2018, Genesee County Residents receive discounted admission tickets for General Admission. Please select ticket buttons labeled "Genesee" to receive your millage benefits. Please do not purchase "Genesee" tickets for friends or relatives who do not live in Genesee County. All adults 18+ in possession of a Genesee County ticket must be residents and will be asked to show a valid I.D. with proof of residency. If an adult does not have proof of Genesee County residency, they will be asked to pay the out-of-county admission fees upon entry to the museum. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 

**Please Note: Genesee County millage benefits are not valid during the Sloan Museum Auto Fair weekend: Saturday, June 28 & Sunday, June 29, 2025.
