Teacher Appreciation Day

Our museum team knows how hard South Carolina educators work for their students every year! In addition to on-site field trips and distance learning programs, this spring we are inviting teachers to a special day at the museum to show our appreciation for their dedication and service to students across the state. 

Teacher Appreciation Day on Sat., May 2, includes:

Free general admission for SC teachers and up to 3 guests with a valid school ID at Check-In. General admission includes access to all 4 floors of permanent exhibition galleries and the Observatory, as well as a chance to see changing exhibitions such as South Carolina Wings of Wonder, Bird Photographer of the Year, From the Vault: South Carolina Art from the Museum's Collection and more.  

PLUS, 

• Discounted planetarium and 4D show tickets: $5 for the first show, $3 for each additional. 

• 10% Off purchases in the Museum Store and 15% Off Museum Membership
