RMSC offers free admission to active duty military and their families

As part of Blue Star Museums, the RMSC is extending its heartfelt gratitude to those currently serving in the United States Military, and up to five of their family members, by offering free admission to all three of its locations beginning on Armed Forces Day, May 18, 2024, through Labor Day, September 2, 2024.

The RMSC includes the RMSC Museum & Science Center, the RMSC Strasenburgh Planetarium, and the RMSC Cumming Nature Center. Offering experiences at the Museum & Science Center with more than 200 interactive exhibits, the Planetarium with a 65-foot dome screen and several hands-on exhibits, and the Nature Center on 900 acres of land and 14 miles of trails, the RMSC stimulates community interest in exploration. In addition, the more than 1.2 million RMSC collection items tell the story of the Rochester Region’s past and present, including its rich history of social and technological innovation.

The offer is available to those currently serving in the United States Military – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard – including Reservists, National Guardsman (regardless of status), U.S. Public Health Commissioned Corps, NOAA Commissioned Corps, and up to five family members. A family member of active duty military may include a spouse, child, siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and grandparents.

All year round, The RMSC offers military veterans a $3 off general admission ticket to the RMSC Museum & Science Center and Strasenburgh Planetarium and free admission to the Cumming Nature Center.
