Join us for Throwback Day on January 3, 2026, as we kick off our year-long 50th anniversary tribute! 

For one day only, admission will be just $2 per person — the original ticket price from opening day in 1976 — making it the perfect time to visit and join in on the fun. 

Be among the first to explore a brand-new exhibit that tells the story of how the museum began, and enjoy a cake and ribbon-cutting celebration, family-friendly activities, and special surprises throughout the day. Our historians will be onsite sharing fascinating stories—some you may have never heard before. It’s a birthday party 50 years in the making… and you’re invited!
