How many attractions does Volo have?

What's included with the Platinum Pass?
The Platinum Pass covers all three signature attractions — Volo Museum, Jurassic Gardens, and the Titanic Experience — in one ticket. It’s the best value for guests visiting more than one or two attractions; individual attraction tickets are also available.
Is Volo Museum good for young kids?
Yes, especially Jurassic Gardens — it’s built for hands-on play with fossil digs, panning, dino rides, and a playground, and it’s an indoor, year-round experience.
Is the Titanic Experience appropriate for kids?
It’s a quieter, more reflective exhibit focused on the human stories behind the tragedy rather than jump-scares or intensity, so it works for families, though younger kids may engage with it less than with Jurassic Gardens or the car museum.
