The Museums are offering free admission from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Also, a free shuttle bus will be traveling in a loop, between all of the institutions listed below, from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. (We don't know why the buses stop at 4:00 PM, and not 5:00 PM.)

Of course, you can also make use of the inexpensive Phlash Trolley - which costs only $2.00 per ride, or $5.00 for an all-day pass.

Participating Institutions

The Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Rodin Museum, the Franklin Institute, the Academy of Natural Sciences, Eastern State Penitentiary (Note: Eastern State Pen is not located on the Parkway, but is participating.)

Here's how much you can save, based on the student admission price at every participant:

Philadelphia Museum of Art - $12.00

Eastern State Penitentiary - $8.00

Rodin Museum - $5.00 - it's a suggested contribution, for any visitor.

Franklin Institute - $15.50 - the only one with no student discount, at all

Academy of Natural Sciences - $10.00

The shuttle will also stop at the Free Library of Philadelphia, although by definition, that's always free. So don't waste time, there!
