Discounts FAQ

Eligibility and booking

How do I book a ticket for my child?
You can select the number of adults, children, and infants when booking your tour online. The correct pricing will be applied automatically.
Do I need to bring ID for my child?
While not always checked, it is a good idea to have a form of ID showing your child's age, especially for the volcano entrance fee discount.
Are there any free days to visit the volcano?
No, unlike some state-run museums, there are no free admission days for the volcano as the fee is collected by the local municipality to maintain the site.
