Thanks to a grant from the Highland Street Foundation, general admission is free to everyone! It’s the perfect time to introduce friends and family–or yourself!– to the Springfield Museums.
Free Fun Friday offers visitors no-cost admission to cultural venues in Massachusetts. This program was created to increase access and enrichment opportunities for children and families during the summer months.
To learn more about the program, visit HighlandStreet.org.
Tickets are available first-come, first-serve at the admissions desk in the Welcome Center on Free Fun Friday; advance ticketing not available.

- Due to the popularity of the Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum, we are using timed tickets in order to stagger entry into the new museum. The timed ticket does not cost extra money, it just helps to assure you and your family have plenty of room to play as we control the number of people in the museum at all times.
- Closets, lockers, and cubbies are available in each of our five museums for your convenience.
- We allow outside food and drink in designated eating areas—the Welcome Center, the picnic benches under the red-striped tent, and the Quadrangle Green.
- We have a wonderful café for those who would like to purchase food while visiting.
