Free Thursdays Are Cooler In The Summer

Everyone loves Free Thursdays at HMNS. But this summer, Free Thursdays are even cooler because you get to come later and stay later. Starting on June 7, our Free Thursday summer hours are from 6–9 p.m. Come experience our fascinating permanent exhibit halls and the planetarium for free, except for Thursday, June 21 and Thursday, August 16. However, because butterflies need their beauty rest, the Cockrell Butterfly Center will close at 8 p.m.

Free Thursday hours will return to 2–5 p.m. beginning on August 23.
