Which museum are you planning to visit this year for Smithsonian Magainze’s annual Museum Day?
Hi there,
Wow, I love museums. I often go with my kids. And my kids bring their friends too. So we always end up being a large group of people visiting the museum. Thank you for this free tickets museum. This time I’ll go with my husband:)
I am going to register right now. I see there are other tickets available on the list. I’ll check these too.
Thank you for again!
Hi Daniella, I think that you can only sign up to get free admission to one museum for this day, but it’s still a great opportunity!
There are no Museums where I’m located; thankfully, I have bumped into this just in time. My family and I have been wanting to take a short trip and would love to take this opportunity; get out of our comfort state zone. hehe. I can now see how much we will learn and how much fun we will have! 🙂 Gracias!
It’s great that the timing of this has worked out perfectly. Since you’ll be traveling, you may also be able to take advantage of 2 more Free Entrance Days that are happening the same week. See posts about FREE ENTRANCE DAYS AT US NATIONAL PARKS and FREE ENTRANCE DAYS AT US NATIONAL FOREST SITES (HAPPENS 5 TIMES PER YEAR!).
Enjoy your trip!
Wow thank you that is cool that you can go to the museum in Georgia for free. Maybe I would go to the folk Pottery Museum. It would be a good time to plan my trip to Georgia because I may as well go while there is free admission into the museum. That makes it even more of a bonus.
Also I have some friends in Georgia and I will let them know about this. Thanks for the heads up. I probably wouldn’t Have heard about it otherwise.
You’re most welcome for the information. Feel free to share to a larger audience, because as this website / post features places in the Georgia mountains, the free museum day promotion is for museums all over the USA! Enjoy!!
Thank you for sharing the information about the free admission to a Smithsonian museum. You have shared the information early enough that we actually have time to save the date. My children are in Georgia, so I will share this post with them.
I am in Colorado, so I’m sure I’ll be able to take advantage of it here also.
p.s. nice website.
Awesome! I hope you and your children have a great time!
Warm Regards, Alyce
