As part of Blue Star Museums, the RMSC is extending its gratitude to those currently serving in the United States Military and up to five of their family members, by offering free admission to all three of its locations from Armed Forces Day, May 16, 2026, through Labor Day, September 7, 2026. Qualified members must show a Geneva Convention common access card (CAC), DD Form 1173 ID card (dependent ID), DD Form 1173-1 ID card or the Next Generation Uniformed Services (Real) ID card for entrance into a participating Blue Star Museum.

Each summer since 2005, KidsOutAndAbout has sponsored a survey of the Top 20 Places to Take Kids as a way our community can thank those who provide family-friendly fun and learning... and also help create your summer bucket list! Please take 2 minutes to help us by selecting your three favorites. If you'd like, you can also write in favorites in the following categories: Arts Education, Sports Education, STEM Education, Museums, Outdoor Fun, Indoor Fun, Farms, Nature Centers, Festivals, and a few other categories. An effective (and quick, and painless!) way to express your appreciation in a way that really matters to the people who make our community a vibrant place to raise families. Voting is live through June 20.
