The entrance fee for Buckingham Palace in 2025 to visit the State Rooms is £32 for adults aged 25 and over, £20.50 for young adults aged 18 to 24, and £16 for children aged 5 to 17. Children under five enter for free, but tickets must still be booked for them in advance[2]. For families, discounts are automatically applied for groups such as one adult and two children, or up to two adults and four children[1].
Tickets purchased in advance online offer the best value; same-day tickets may be available but cost £1.50 to £3 more per admission and are subject to availability[2]. The ticket price includes a multimedia guide for a self-guided tour, and in summer 2025, entry also includes access to The King’s Tour Artists exhibition[2].
Discounted rates are available for disabled visitors, and a complimentary companion ticket can be booked, but these must be arranged directly with the Royal Collection Trust[6]. For guided tours offered in winter and spring, the entrance fee rises to £95 per adult, with family and child rates available[1].
