Blue Star Museums: Free Admission for Military Members and Their Families

Sharing is caring!

This year, the Blue Star Museums program opened on Armed Forces Day (it often starts on Memorial Day) and continues to Labor Day. The Blue Star Museums program offers FREE admission to more than 2,000 museums across America for active-duty military personnel and their families. The free admission program is available for those currently serving in the United States Military—Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, and Space Force, members of the Reserves, National Guard, U.S. Public Health Commissioned Corps, NOAA Commissioned Corps, and up to five family members.

It’s a military discount that will keep the whole family entertained on the cheap.
