Work at a school? Then Tuesday is your day to visit the zoo and public museum to learn about what both institutions can offer your classrooms and students.
Teachers and educators with ID get free admission and parking at John Ball Zoo and the Grand Rapids Public Museum from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 8. Informational sessions will be held at both locations at 10 and 11 a.m. and at 1 and 2 p.m. Register here.
Grand Rapids Public Museum’s Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations Kate Moore said this is the first year the partnering institutions have offered a free educator day, as “an effort to let schools in our area know what the museum and zoo offer, and also how they can visit both of us during a field trip.”
The Grand Rapids Public Museum is located at 272 Pearl St. NW. The John Ball Zoo is located at 1300 W. Fulton St.
