FREE
Day at the Museum
I cut the following out of the Sunday newspaper (either
the Rockford Register Star or the Chicago Tribune) and I thought others might
be interested:
“No
plans for Saturday, September 29th? Here’s a thought: Smithsonian
magazine is hosting its annual Museum Day Live!, which grants free admission to
some 1,400 museums nationwide. Download tickets for a locale near you at
Smithsonian.com/museumday.”
Once you visit the site you select the state of your
choice and it will give you a list of
various museums (art, science, natural history, etc) as well as botanical parks
from which to select. You make your selection and print your ticket then and
there. It will also provide you with the following info:
Know before you go:
- One
ticket for two people only
- One
ticket per valid e-mail address
- One
ticket will gain entry in only the museum listed on your printed ticket
- Ticket
must be presented for free general admission to one venue and is good for two
people. Not valid for special exhibits, parking, IMAX film screenings or for
use with any other offers.
- Only
an official Museum Day Live! Ticket is eligible for entry
- If
museum reaches capacity, museum has right to limit guests until space becomes
available
What a great way to take the family to see a new
destination at a free or reduced price. I downloaded a ticket for the Adler
Planetarium in Chicago as I’ve never been there and since I’ll be on the museum
campus I can also visit, for a fee, either the Shedd Aquarium or the Field
Museum, my personal favorite.
