we are proud to be a blue star museum.

We’re proud to participate in Blue Star Museums, offering free admission to active-duty military families as a small way to honor their service and sacrifice.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to welcome military families to the Northeast Texas Children’s Museum for a day of fun, play, and connection.

Blue Star Museums is a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of War, and museums across America to offer free admission to the nation’s active duty military personnel including National Guard and Reserve and their families each summer. The program begins on Armed Forces Day in mid-May and ends on Labor Day at the beginning of September.
