Corporate Family Day
What is Corporate Family Day?
Invite your employees out for a day of activities that are interactive, exciting and suitable for all ages. At the Pathfinder Level membership or above, take advantage of Corporate Family Days and special group experiences. Treating your employees to a day of fun and showing appreciation for the work they do can have a great impact on employee retention. Corporate Family Days allow employees, along with five guests, to enjoy free admission to the Museum. These special Corporate Family Day offerings are available on various Saturdays during the year. As part of this event, your employees will also receive special Museum discounts and perks for the day.
