Admission covers all exhibits and amenities at the facility, including the Johnstown Children's Museum, "America: Through Immigrant Eyes," the Iron & Steel Gallery featuring "Mystery of Steel,", the second-floor galleries and fifth-floor galleries. Your ticket also includes admission to all JAHA-owned museums in the Johnstown Discovery Network, including the Johnstown Flood Museum, which is also operated by the Johnstown Area Heritage Association. The Wagner-Ritter House & Garden is open on a seasonal schedule (see the Wagner-Ritter House & Garden's admissions page for details), and your ticket is also good for admission to this house museum when it is open. Tickets may be used over a 5-day period, so it is not necessary to see everything on the same day.
