More Than Just a Night at the Museum
FunFest: A Night at the Museum is more than an evening of science, fun, and celebration—it's a meaningful opportunity to support the mission of The Franklin Institute.
As a fundraiser and “friend-raiser”, FunFest helps TFI:
- Connect with families and parents of young children, building relationships that grow with their curiosity.
- Foster long-term engagement with The Franklin Institute by welcoming the next generation of science lovers into our community.
- Inspire future champions and supporters who will help ensure science education remains exciting, accessible, and impactful for years to come.
By attending FunFest, you're not only creating joyful memories with your family— you're also investing in the future of science learning and helping us cultivate a thriving, inclusive community of discovery.
