Celebrate a return to arts and culture with free tickets to History Fort Lauderdale in honor of Smithsonian Magazine’s national Museum Day on September 18. Museum Day brings together the nation’s museums, zoos, and cultural centers to offer free admission to patrons, representing a national commitment to access, equality, and inclusion. Museum Day goes beyond getting visitors through museum doors–it acts as a springboard to empower and help advance the hopes and ambitions of the public, particularly school-aged children and those in underrepresented communities.
Guests can claim their two free History Fort Lauderdale tickets by clicking here. Tickets will be available to download beginning at midnight on Wednesday, August 18. Quantities may be limited.
