The Great Ticket Window Throwdown: First Come, First Served!
Forget fancy online reservations, this is a battle won the old-fashioned way: with your feet and a healthy dose of determination. The ticket window opens at 7:00 am sharp, Monday through Thursday (excluding holidays). Be prepared to face valiant warriors, soccer moms with laser focus, and history buffs with an insatiable thirst for coin knowledge.
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
Pro Tip: Think Rocky Balboa, but instead of dodging punches, you're dodging elbows (hopefully not literally). Aim to arrive at least an hour early. The earlier the bird, well, you get the picture.
Word on the Street: The line can get gnarly, especially during peak season (Memorial Day to Labor Day). But hey, a little competition adds spice to life, right?
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.
Ticket Triumph! Now What?
Congratulations, you've secured your golden ticket (well, not literally, but you get the idea)! Now, here's the nitty-gritty:
- Tours are offered: Monday through Thursday, with multiple slots throughout the day.
- Bring your ID: You gotta prove you're not Willy Wonka trying to steal the chocolate... er, I mean, the minting secrets.
- Leave the purse at home: Big bags and backpacks are a no-no. Think light and travel-sized essentials.
- Be on time: Fashionably late won't cut it here. Show up at your designated tour entrance a few minutes early to avoid disappointment.
