Traveling with your children is such a fantastic learning experience.  Whether it’s a trip to relax on the beach or explore a new city – there’s always something new to discover.  I love sneaking in some education when we travel as a family.

This year on Saturday, September 28th don’t miss the Museum Day Live! event with hundreds of museums around the country offering free admission for two to select museums and attractions.  Sponsored by the Smithsonian Magazine, there are a variety of places focusing on art, history and even science.

A few things to keep in mind as you plan your day –

  • Only an official Museum Day Live! ticket is eligible for free entry. Official tickets can be found on the Museum Day Live! website.
  • One ticket per household, for two people.
  • A ticket will gain entry to only one of the participating museums, excluding parking and special events and exhibits.
  • If museum reaches capacity, museum has the right to limit the number of guests until space becomes available.

This annual event is a great way for families to explore new places on a budget.  A few of my favorite places on the list include the Museum of Science & History in Jacksonville, the Museum of Florida History in Tallahassee and the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens in Jacksonville.

I’m excited to spend the day with my family at the museum.  Now, the tough part is deciding which one to visit!  So many great choices!
