Thanks to the support of Duke Energy, free museum admission and free planetarium shows are available on the second Tuesday of every month!

There is no need to reserve museum admission tickets on Free Tuesday. Just arrive between 4 and 8 pm.

To guarantee seats at a free planetarium show, please reserve your tickets in advance. Free planetarium tickets are available one week prior to each date and can only be reserved online. (If you reserve planetarium tickets and discover you will not be able to attend, please contact the museum to relinquish your tickets, so they can be made available to others.)
