Bruce Museum In Greenwich Offers Free Summer Weekend Admission For Children

GREENWICH, CT — The Bruce Museum in Greenwich will offer free weekend admission for children under 18 throughout the summer, made possible by an anonymous donor.

The “Summer Weekends 2025 Kids are Free at the Bruce” initiative will run from Saturday, July 5, through Sunday, August 31.

Under the program, up to four children can enter free with each accompanying adult, who must purchase tickets in person at the museum’s main entrance. Regular adult admission is $20.

The program is made possible through the generosity of an anonymous donor who wished to make engagement with art and science accessible for all families and support the Bruce’s mission of cultivating discovery and wonder and engaging a broad audience through the power of art and science.

As part of the summer offerings, drop-in art and science activities will be available on most weekends from 1 to 3 p.m. in the museum’s Cohen Education Wing. In addition, the museum will host a sustainability-themed Family Day on Saturday, July 19.

Two exhibitions will be on view during the summer period. "Jeremy Frey: Woven," on display in the changing art gallery, presents the first major retrospective of the award-winning Indigenous basketweaver, highlighting his intricate sculptural works. In the changing science gallery, On "Thin Ice: Alaska’s Warming Wilderness" explores the impact of climate change in the American Northwest, featuring immersive displays including a life-sized polar bear.
