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.
Not only do we have several participating Wichita museums, this is also a great way for military families to enjoy museums on vacation in other cities!
This year, we have several Kansas museums participating in the Blue Star Museums program. These are now confirmed for this year. More may be added, so be sure to check the link below to see a complete list of participating museums throughout the summer.
