Buy a LeFleur Museum District Pass
Enjoy an exciting Spring Break “Week of Wonder” in Jackson’s award-winning LeFleur Museum District (LMD). The LMD’s four uniquely amazing museums, located at I-55 and Lakeland Drive, are offering special Spring Break events, exhibits, and discounts.
The LMD has partnered with The District at Eastover to offer visitors wonderful dining specials from Cultivation Food Hall, Fine & Dandy, and Sophomore Spanish Club with the presentation of a “Week of Wonder” card (given to visitors when they check-in at each museum to redeem their LMD passes). A few activities begin on March 5 at the museums, but the dining discounts are offered from March 9 – 13.
This promotion is a great way for locals to enjoy Spring Break in their own backyard and for all Mississippians and tourists to get a taste of our state’s museums and culinary offerings.
• The museums in the LMD are: MDWFP’s Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, the Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum, the Mississippi Children’s Museum, and the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame & Museum.
• Visitors will receive half-price kids’ meals at Cultivation Food Hall and Fine & Dandy and a free Kids’ Choco Taco Dessert at Sophomore Spanish Club (with the presentation of their “Week of Wonder” card during March 9 – 13, 2020).
• The Red Wagon will offer free rides between the museums on Monday, March 9th.
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES & EXHIBITS AT EACH MUSEUM INCLUDE:
In addition to special events and exhibits, visitors to the LMD can experience unforgettable moments in sports history and imagination-filled times with their families, a chance to relive the magic of small-town life, learn about early aviation and agriculture, and enjoy adventures on the wild side with living creatures, huge aquariums, and dinosaurs.
