At just 2,500-square-feet, the Lincoln exhibition is not so overwhelming or large that it requires a major time commitment. It can easily be viewed in less than an hour. For residents or visitors who have never seen the National Constitution Center, the exhibition is a good reason to plan that first visit. For members or people who have already visited the NCC, it is a good reason to make a return trip.

There is no separate fee to view the Lincoln exhibition. Entry is included in the regular admission price to the NCC that currently is $9 for adults and $7 for seniors 62 and up, children ages 4-12 and active military personnel. The NCC is open seven days a week and is conveniently located at the north end of Independence National Historical Park that also features such historic attractions as Independence Hall and the new Liberty Bell Center.

One Saturday a month features Lincoln Family Fun Days that include family-oriented activities that complement the Lincoln exhibit experience with special themes for each day. Family Fun Days are free and do not include museum admission tickets. They are scheduled for June 25, July 16, August 20, September 17 and October 15, 2005.
