Family Fun Night
Through the Sponsored Admission Program, families are invited to enjoy Family Fun Night on the second and fourth Saturday of every month from 5:00 to 8:00 pm when admission is just $3.00.

Sponsored Admissions Program
Because not every family is able to take advantage of the museum's in-house activities, Amazement Square has made reaching these families one of its top priorities. With the museum's Sponsored Admission Program, inner city and underserved communities that might not otherwise have the ability to come to the museum are able to enjoy the programs and activities free of charge. Since opening in 2001, more than 43,000 individuals have benefited from this program.

The Sponsored Admission Program is made possible through the generosity of Ms. Mary Lenker, Yuille Holt, Jr. Family, and Lea and Andy Larsen Endowment Funds.
