Chicago families just got one more reason to smile! The Griffin Museum of Science and Industry has announced an expanded partnership with Bank of America that puts culture within everyone’s reach — including free museum admission on the Sunday of the first full weekend of every month throughout 2026.
That means this Sunday, October 11, Bank of America cardholders can enjoy free general admission to one of the largest science museums in the world, from hands-on exhibits that spark curiosity to the awe-inspiring rotunda that has amazed generations of Chicago visitors.
The partnership also sponsors three consecutive blockbuster exhibitions: 007 Science, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing — The Exhibition, and the upcoming Anne Frank The Exhibition, which makes its Midwest debut at Griffin MSI on May 1, 2026. Cardholders even receive free access to the ticketed Anne Frank exhibition.
Science, imagination, and free admission — the perfect plan for a happy weekend in Chicago. Tickets and details are available at griffinmsi.org.
