These coupons grant educators access to a variety of HMNS venues for a discounted price, so if you haven’t received one yet, be sure to download it.
The annual guide is targeted to educators and provides extensive information about all three of the HMNS campuses: Hermann Park, Sugar Land, and the George Observatory, including details on permanent exhibits, special exhibitions, how to book a field trip, and much more.
