In addition to the Bank of America Museums on Us program, Target stores also sponsors free events around the Country throughout the year. A couple years ago, Target sponsored free admission to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, and our family took the day to show the Bug (Lan-Shark was not born yet) the antique cars and trains located under the enormous roof of the facility.
The Henry Ford Museum is once again free in 2013 on Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Labor Day, and October 21, courtesy of Target stores.
Is looking at historic antiques and icons of Americana not your thing, and looking for something a little more relaxed and kid friendly? Well then why not spend the day at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum?
We visited the Indianapolis Children’s Museum last year, and it was by-far one of the BEST museums we have ever visited, even for adults. Very educational, well thought out and put together, and interactive.
Partnered with Target stores, the first Thursday of each month is labeled Free Family Night, and is a fantastic opportunity to save a bundle of money off the cost of admission, although the event is only open from 4-8 PM, which is not enough time to really see all of the museum. For the cost, one can not complain though.
Will you be visiting a free museum night in 2013? If so, tell us about it.
Save Money, Travel More!
Thanks for mentioning us! For 2013, we swapped President’s Day for our National Day of Courage celebration on Feb. 4 in honor of Rosa Parks. Admission is free that day and the museum has extended hours – we’ll close at 9:30 p.m.
