Community Nights at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA
The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is one of the nation's oldest and best museums dedicated to science and technology. The museum's science center contains an impressive collection of artifacts from the Wright Brothers, one of the world's first stainless steel aircrafts, an extensive exhibit dedicated to Benjamin Franklin, an observatory featuring five telescopes, and an enormous model of a heart used to teach about biology and human anatomy. The outdoor Science Park, open in the summer, teaches kids about science using pendulums, sundials, periscopes and mini-golf. The museum also houses the Fels Planetarium, an IMAX theater, and a theater featuring 3-D Blu-Ray technology.
Once a month, the Franklin Institute holds a Community Night event where admission to most of the center's exhibits are free. This includes admission to all of the Institute's hands-on exhibits, the IMAX theater, the 3D Franklin Theater, the Fels Planetarium, and the Joel N. Bloom Astronomical Observatory. The goal of these nights is to promote science education by offering families a free night where their children can enjoy a science museum, especially if they have never been to one before. Just one night at a science museum can spark a child's interest in science, math, medicine or technology and change them for a lifetime. And if you attend four Community Nights, you receive free membership at the Franklin Institute for an entire year. Please contact the museum directly for info on upcoming Community Night dates.
