Insider tip
Viewable from the street any time; admission is free, but the house itself only opens Saturday and Sunday afternoons right now.
Before you go
What they actually say
- Admission is always free, underwritten by Saint Arnold Brewing Company. Older write-ups describing a paid tour are out of date.
- The Orange Show's own site contradicts itself on hours: a site-wide banner says "The Beer Can House is currently open Saturdays and Sundays from 12-5pm" while the body copy still says "OPEN WEDNESDAY - SUNDAY FROM 10AM-4PM". The banner is the current state and matches what we verified on 2026-09-09; treat weekdays as closed and check before making a special trip.
- The house is estimated to be covered in over 50,000 aluminium beer cans.
- The tour is partially outdoors, so weather matters. It is family-friendly.
- Closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
- It is run by the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art, which also runs Smither Park and the Orange Show Monument. The old beercanhouse.org domain has lapsed to a parked page - orangeshow.org is the live source.
