Have you made your vacation or PCS travel plans yet?
Don’t finalize a thing until you check out the extensive list of museums across the nation that are offering free admission to military families this summer.
Every summer since 2010 The National Endowment for the Arts has collaborated with more than 2,000 museums, attractions and nature centers nationwide to allow free entry to military family. The free tickets are usually good between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
New locations are added each year. The full list should be announced in the coming days.
You can visit the organization’s website which has a user friendly map that you can click on and find a complete list of museums in that state.
The program is geared toward active duty families, so retired families generally are not included. Active duty military can receive up to five free family members at each location.
Spouses of deployed military members can receive free entry for themselves and their children with their military ID card.
