DOVER - Families who live in Rochester will be able to visit the Children's Museum of New Hampshire in Dover at no charge this Saturday.

The program is offered with support provided by the UNIQUE College Investing Plan.

Lilac City residents should reserve a time in advance and bring proof of residence.

This is the second free CMNH admission day offered to Rochester this Fall.

"Rochester is very close to Dover," said Neva Cole, CMNH Communications Director. "It's only a short 20-minute drive away, and yet we've noticed that Rochester families don't seem to make up a very high percentage of our visitors. We're grateful to the UNIQUE College Investing Plan for this sponsorship which allows us to reach out to our neighbors and hopefully introduce them to a family friendly resource for kids and caregivers!"

Visitors from Rochester or beyond are asked to reserve/pre-pay online for the museum's daily play sessions, 9am-Noon or 1-4pm (Tuesdays - Saturdays, and only 9am-Noon on Sundays).

For Rochester residents looking to reserve for Saturday the museum asks they just reserve using the "w/discount (will pay at door)" price type options, and then present proof of residence at the door when they arrive. Masks are required for everyone over 24 months, regardless of vaccination status. Learn more about the Children's Museum of New Hampshire at www.childrens-museum.org.
