Schoolhouse Museum having a free night once a month for families struggling with economy

To meet the growing need for affordable, educational family experiences, the Schoolhouse Children’s Museum, 129 E Ocean Ave., now offers a monthly Free Family Night.

Kelsey Harris, director of operations at the museum, said children of all ages can play on the interactive exhibits while learning about Florida’s past in the historic schoolhouse building.

She also said it is an opportunity for children and parents to start learning how to answers today’s tough questions together.

This month, from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 7, the museum will be hosting Primerica’s “How Money Works….for Kids” during Free Family Night.

Marisa Guida, program director at the museum, said the Primerica program would start at 7 p.m. for children ages 6 through 10 and their parents.

“We are usually never open in the evening, so this is just a chance to help out people who want to come for free after work, especially in the economy,” she said.

Guida said the special nights have been packed and getting diverse crowds.
