Free First Fridays Return To The Washington Pavilion Next Month

The Washington Pavilion has announced the monthly Free First Friday event will resume beginning on February 5.

The event takes place from 5-8 p.m. the first Friday of each month and the community and visitors to Sioux Falls are invited to explore and enjoy the Kirby Science Discovery Center and Visual Arts Center museums at no cost.

The February event includes:

• Free admission to both museums
• An opportunity to meet mascot Radley Rex

· Special admission rate for the Wells Fargo CineDome movie "Mysteries of the Unseen World" at 6:30 p.m.

"The Washington Pavilion was founded more than 20 years ago as a place with arts and science opportunities for everyone, and Free First Fridays helps us fulfill that mission," says Brandon Hanson, Director of Museums at the Washington Pavilion. "We are passionate about serving our community and welcoming as many people as we can to experience the wide array of enriching, entertaining, educating and inspiring offerings at our facility."

COVID-19 precautions continue to be in place to help keep guests safe. Attendance will be monitored, with admission on a first-come, first-served basis up to maximum capacity. Face masks are required for ages five and older per City of Sioux Falls ordinance.
