Cranbrook Institute of Science Veterans Day: Free Admission

No booking mentioned; the discount does not apply to group visits.

About this adventure

Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills opens its doors free to every visitor on Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, with general admission covered by the Masco Corporation. It is a chance for families to spend a weekday among the museum's natural history and science galleries without paying the usual entry fee, whether or not anyone in the family has served. The museum keeps its normal Wednesday hours, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., so families can come and go at their own pace, and the Reflections Café is open for lunch from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The free admission applies to individual visitors and families, not to booked group visits. Extras such as planetarium shows are not mentioned on the event page, so plan on general admission only being covered. For children who enjoy hands-on science, a free midweek visit is an easy way to test how long they last in a museum before committing to a paid trip.
