In honor of Take Your Child to Work Day 2025, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University is offering free admission for Drexel University employees AND their children on Thursday, April 24, 2025. Children must be accompanied by their Drexel-employed parent, who must present a valid faculty/staff DragonCard to receive free admission for their children. (Drexel employees already receive free admission to the museum with ID.) Faculty and professional staff are not permitted to bring their children to work on campus and should work with their supervisors to arrange for the time off to visit the museum.
