The Museum of Life and Science hosts Durham Community Days throughout the year. Durham County residents who show current proof of residence will receive free admission. Each adult can bring up to five children. Regular admission fees are $23 for adults and $18 for children ages 3-12, so this is a great opportunity for significant savings!

The Museum is open 10-5. We recommend arriving early and planning to spend the day there. There is plenty to do! If it's a school day, consider dropping by after school to explore the treehouses at Hideaway Woods or cooling off at Into the Mist or Earth Moves.
If you are a member, you may want to arrive at 9:00 for the members-only early admission or skip the Durham Community Day since it may be busier than usual.
