Smithsonian Magazine is offering free admission to over 1,000 museums around the country on Saturday, September 22 and you can register for your free admission now. This year, Museum Day will showcase Women Making History: Trailblazers in the arts, sciences, innovation & culture.
Just visit smithsonianmag.com to see a list of local participating venues. Participating kid-friendly museums in Massachusetts and Connecticut include the Springfield Museums, the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum, the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center in Hartford and the New England Carousel Museum in Bristol, CT. There are many more to chose from, browse the list to see what would be a good fit for your family. You have to chose which museum to visit when you reserve your ticket. A few years ago we visited the Mashantucket Pequot Museum in Mashantucket, CT -- it was a-maz-ing. Highly recommend! I think we're going to head to the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry, CT this year.
I don't know if many folks don't know about this program, or if museums are just not that popular in September but we've taken advantage of this program several times and the venues were never overcrowded. In fact, we pretty much had the museum to ourselves last year. So please don't pass on this idea because you think the venues are going to be overwhelming. I've never found that to be the case.
Each ticket is good for two free admissions on Sept. 22. This offer is limited to one ticket per household/email address. You can reserve your tickets here.
Free is for Me! Thanks, Smithsonian! #MuseumDay #WomenMakingHistory
