The Discovery Museums Celebrate 30 Years with a Week of 1982 Admission Prices
“Pay and Play Like It’s 1982” Offers $2.00 Admission from September 22 through 28
To say Thank You for 30 years of support from the greater Boston community, The Discovery Museums will reduce admission prices for a week to $2.00 per person, the same price as when the museum first opened in 1982. From Saturday September 22 through Friday September 28, visitors of all ages can explore both museums on the campus and enjoy favorite programs and activities such as Music & Movement, FETCH!™ Lab, PEEP™ Science Adventures, Mixing in Math, LEGO Zone and more, and pay only $2 admission per person as part of the “Pay and Play Like It’s 1982” promotion.
In addition to the reduced admission price, memberships will be sold at a 20% discount through the end of the month. Members and children under 1 are not charged an admission fee; teachers are also always free.
