Click on the link to see prices for the Museum Center at Union Terminal and the special exhibit, “Real Pirates.” We are checking into group discount tickets (if we get 15 or more), as well as discounts available for KrogerPLUS customers. It looks like we should plan on spending approximately $20-25 for museum admission. This event is open to non-Public History students and alumni. If you are planning on attending, please email Daniel Schlegel (schlegel.7@wright.edu) with your name and a contact phone number so he has an idea of how many will be in our group in order to get the best discount. Invite friends and family so we can hit 15!!!
