Free Admission for Military Families

Gateway to Science will be taking part in the Blue Star Museums program which offers free admission to all active duty military personnel and their immediate family members from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Gateway to Science invites North Daktoa National Guard Active and Reserve Force families, Minot Air Force Base families, Grand Forks Air Force Base, U.S. Public Health Commissioned Corps and NOAA Commissioned Corps families to visit Gateway to Science this summer under the Blue Star Museum program. Blue Star Museums is a partnership among Blue Star Families, the National Endowment for the Arts, and more than 1,300 museums across America.

Blue Star Families is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit network of military families from all ranks and services, including guard and reserve, with a mission to support, connect and empower military families. The National Endowment for the Arts was established by Congress in 1965 as an independant agency of the federal government. To date, the NEA has awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. To find more museums participating please visit www.arts.gov/bluestarmuseums.

Gateway to Science is open Monday through Thursday, 12PM-7PM and Friday through Saturday, 10AM-5PM. We are located at 1810 Schafer Street in Bismarck, ND. The free admission program is available to any bearer of Geneva Convention common access card (CAC), a DD Form 1173 ID card, or a DD Form 1173-1 ID card and up to five family members.

We look forward to seeing you this summer!
