Thank you all for your help. I think there is a system of admission at specific times, so that must be why it's worded that way. I think I will basically go with Toba san's wording.

  -> Thank you Kurt-san.
agree  mstkwasa: One thing that has bothered me slightly is 入場締切り時間から and why not 入場時間. It indicates some sort of timed entry system but it is not that clear, unless the tours are guided and start at specified times. What happens if you enter earlier?
17 mins
  -> I thought 入場締切り時間 is unclear Japanese. Thank you.
agree  toba: mstkwasa is right though. The 締め切り is rather unclear. But I don't think it means "starting your entrance of". Could it be something like: "The tour of the pavilion takes approximately 50 minutes from the time admissions are closed."
1 hr
  -> Good point! Thank you.
agree  Minoru Kuwahara: my guess about 締切時間 is that this tour may be possibly based on an enrollement system, which may have a time-out schedule for participants to enrol. it is quite an ambiguous Japanese expression after all, though. -
