San Bernardino County Museum Foundation (SBCMF) is proud to announce a new initiative in support of educators, ‘Thank a Teacher’ membership program, which is a 10% discount on purchased and gifted household memberships for teachers. This new membership program recognizes the invaluable role teachers play in our community and aims to make the museums and historic sites exhibits and programs more accessible to those shaping future generations.
With a household membership, teachers and their families can enjoy unlimited admission to the two museums and historic sites for a year, priority access to special exhibition openings, exclusive members-only events, and discounts on museum programs and purchases made in the gift shops.
“We believe in the power of education and want to show our appreciation for the dedication and hard work of teachers,” said SBCMF Executive Director Brandon Mulder. “This discounted household membership is a small way to give back and encourage educators to continue exploring, learning and sharing that passion with their students.”
To redeem the discount, teachers can present a valid school ID or proof of employment when purchasing a household membership at either the San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM) or Victor Valley Museum’s (VVM) admissions desk. Non-teachers may also purchase a household membership at the discounted rate, which will be donated by SBCMF.
SBCM is located at 2024 Orange Tree Lane, at the California Street exit from Interstate 10 in Redlands. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. VVM is located at 11873 Apple Valley Rd. in Apple Valley. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. General admission is $10 (adult), $8 (military or senior), $7 (student), and $5 (child ages 6 to 12). Children five and under and museum foundation members are admitted free. Parking is free and the museum is accessible to people with disabilities.
