Additional Information:
Homeschool Days are held from 10:00am-2:00pm and tickets are available for purchase at the door. There is no limit on the number of participants for Homeschool Days, and ~100-200 people participate in each event. Families are able to explore the museum at their own pace throughout the day. We strongly recommend arriving before 11:00am in order to take full advantage Homeschool Day programming. A brown bag lunch is recommended as the museum does not have onsite food service. Indoor and seasonal outdoor seating is available on a first come, first served basis.
All students must be accompanied by an adult and activities/programs are subject to change. Museum memberships, complimentary passes, library passes, corporate admission passes, or other discounts do not apply to homeschool day fees. Online museum general admission tickets also do not apply to homeschool days. Some activities (such as advanced computer/F-18 flight simulators) may be available during Homeschool Days. If so, these simulators will incur an additional fee and tickets for these simulators will be available for purchase on a first come, first served basis during the event.
