Blue Star Museums Free Admission Program at the Museum of Discovery and Science

The Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) is offering active military personnel and their families FREE admission all summer long through the Blue Star Museums program. This is a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense and more than 2,000 museums across the United States. From Armed Forces Day on May 20, through Labor Day, September 4, active-duty military, including National Guard and Reserve, and up to five family members can enjoy a fun family day at MODS free of charge.

Blue Star Museum guests can upgrade to watch an IMAX documentary film on the GIANT screen for $5 per person upon arrival at the Museum’s box office.

Qualified members must show a Geneva Convention common access card (CAC), DD Form 1173 ID card (dependent ID), DD Form 1173-1 ID card or the Next Generation Uniformed Services (Real) ID card for entrance into a participating Blue Star Museum. The active-duty service member does not need to be present. Families must show appropriate military identification.
