Family Weeks Benefits Provided to Door County Maritime Museum Visitors
Posted on 12. Mar, 2010 by Bob Desh.
With spring break upon us, the Door County Maritime Museum announces the return of Family Weeks, an event designed to encourage families to spend some of their spring break time at the Museum in Sturgeon Bay.
Family Week will actually extend more than three weeks from Saturday, March 13 through Sunday, April 4. Any children, ages 17 and under, accompanied by a paying adult or adult Museum member will be admitted free to the Museum.
“The Museum is a great place to spend some of that vacation time,” says the Museum’s Executive Director Bob Desh. “There will be a children’s activity or two in addition to the variety of kid-friendly attractions.”
The nuclear submarine periscope offers a fifth story view of the surrounding waterfront. Large-scale models, a striking lighthouse exhibit, boats and engines help to round out the Museum experience.
As an added treat, Desh said the Children’s Week offer will extend to the Tug John Purves after it opens for tours on the first weekend in April. Consequently, children will be allowed to board the tug free when accompanied by a paying or member adult. It should be noted, that a 42-inch height restriction does apply to tug tours.
The Door County Maritime Museum is located at 120 N. Madison Ave., on the West Side waterfront between the two downtown bridges. Adult admission is $7.50 to the Museum and $5 to the tug. For more information call 920.743.5958 or visit www.dcmm.org. Hours are 10 am – 5 pm daily.
