Today several of our cultural institutions are taking part in the Member Day event here in Birmingham. Members of 14 arts & cultural groups around the metropolitan area recently received tickets via U.S. Mail.

With that ticket or a valid membership card, members have free entry all day long to any participating location, including McWane Science Center, Birmingham Zoo, Vulcan Park & Museum and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.

If you’re not a member, you can still join at any of the participating sites during the day to gain access. This schedule gives you an overview of all of the day’s activities. The event, formerly called A Day for Discovery, is a great way to become familiar with the region’s offerings.
