The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center will participate in Smithsonian Magazine's Museum Day Live, joining more than 1,500 museums nationwide in offering free admission on Saturday.

For Museum Day, the Cosmosphere will waive the admission fee for the Hall of Space Museum for visitors from any location (Reno County residents are admitted free all year). That admission price is normally $12 for adults and $10 for children 4-12, adults 60 and older and military service members.

The free admission will not include other attractions at the Cosmosphere, including Dr. Goddard's Lab, the Carey Digital Dome Theater, the Justice Planetarium or the Flight Simulator.

Free admission is limited to two people per household. Visitors must go to the website at www.Smithsonian.com/museumday and fill out a form, including an email address. A printable ticket for two people will then be emailed.

Dozens of other Kansas museums also are participating in Museum Day. Among them are the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene, the Kansas Museum of History in Topeka, the Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita and the Constitution Hall State Historic Site in Lecompton.

The Cosmosphere, at 1100 N. Plum St. in Hutchinson, houses the largest collection of U.S. space artifacts outside of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., and the largest collection of Russian space artifacts outside of Moscow.
