Delaware Museum of Natural History Offers $1 Tuesdays in August

Posted by Press Release on July 23, 2012

Every Tuesday in August, the Delaware Museum of Natural History is partnering with Artisans' Bank to lower admission prices to just $1 per person during August Dollar Tuesdays. Visitors are invited to explore the wonders of the natural world at the Museum for just $1 on August 7, 14, 21, and 28, courtesy of Artisans' Bank.

Admission includes entry to the Museum's special exhibit, Earth from Space, where visitors can marvel at our planet through the "eyes" of a space satellite. In addition, learn what it takes to put humans into orbit with two space suits on display, on loan from ILC Dover of Frederica, DE, the exclusive manufacturer of space suits for NASA and the International Space Station. Also on view is the Delaware state moon rock, one of a number of lunar specimens collected on the Apollo 17 space mission.

Elsewhere in the Museum, galleries showcase Delaware's only dinosaurs on permanent display, a life-sized model of a giant squid, a coral reef walkover, an African watering hole, and exotic mollusk and bird collections. The Larry F. Scott Nature Trail and Butterfly Garden reach their peak this time of year, and visitors can cool off inside to view a space film in the DuPont Auditorium. So much exploring can build up an appetite, so Johnnie's Hot Dogs, a Wilmington-area icon, will also be on-hand with their famous dogs on August 7 and 14. On August 21 and 28, visitors can purchase fresh fruit and produce from the Point Lookout Farm Produce Stand.

Artisans' Bank is the presenting sponsor of August Dollar Tuesdays.
