EdVenture announces 12-cent Kids’ Day and new membership offerings
July 28, 2015
COLUMBIA, SC – In an effort to open the museum to more area families during its 12th year, EdVenture announced that it has streamlined its membership program and will also offer children 12 opportunities to visit the museum for only 12 cents.
EdVenture’s 12-Cent Kids’ Day will be held on the 12th day of every month from August 2015 through July 2016. Admission will be just 12 cents per child. Admission for parents or accompanying guardians will remain at full price. Memberships purchased at the museum on the 12th day of each month will receive 12 Chick-fil-A Kids Meals courtesy of presenting sponsor, Chick-fil-A.
“While we exist as a team to help people experience the joy of learning, we are always learning, too,” said Karen Coltrane, EdVenture president and CEO. “And in listening to our visitors, we heard that if we want to expand our community impact, we need to make it easier for families to join EdVenture as members. So we are excited to announce a new membership program designed to offer strong value for families who would like unlimited access to the museum and all it offers.”
Membership pricing levels were simplified to two levels, both of which include unlimited free entry for adults and universal benefits for all children in the household. Benefits include unlimited free admission all year, exclusive members-only access to the museum, guest passes, and discounts on birthday parties, programs, camps and special events.
Memberships can be purchased online at edventure.org, by calling 803-400-1152 or emailing [email protected].
In addition to changing EdVenture membership options, the museum will also offer admission of $4 per visitor after 4 p.m., free admission for children under two years old and a discount on museum admission for educators (with valid school ID). The museum will continue to offer Family Night on the second Tuesday evening of each month, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., where admission will remain $1 per person.
