[spend Christmas THE MIND MUSEUM way]

Still clueless on how to spend Christmas this year or what to buy as gifts to family & friends? THE MIND MUSEUM has come up with 10 gift suggestions that will inspire learning & impart a whole new meaning to 'holiday gift-giving'.

1. Go on a Scientific Date with your loved ones and kids by getting an  All Day Pass or gift certificate worth Php 750.00 each & explore over 250 hands-on, minds-on exhibits & live experiment demonstrations on everything about living & non-living things.



2. Get the chance to Name the Stars after your Loved Ones through a fixed donation with e-certificates. At prices ranging from Php 1,000.00 - Php 5,000.00 (depending on the choice of show), not only will your names be imprinted on any of the virtual exhibits, your donation will also benefit public school kids under the 'free museum visits' project of TMM & supporting institutions.(For more information, visit http://exhibits.themindmuseum.org.)

3. The Key to Endless Discovery starts with a purchase of TMM’s Unlimited Science Pass to give you a  a year-round, all-day admission inside the first world-class science museum in the country. This pass also gives free admission to over 300 worldwide science museums, discounts on travelling exhibition tickets, birthday packages, and purchases inside The Mind Museum Store. Like the fixed donation scheme in no. 2, this unli-pass also directly supports free museum passes to underprivileged kids.  (For a group of four or more, avail the Unlimited Science Pass for only Php2,250/pax.Visit https://www.themindmuseum.org/science-alive/63/membership-program for more information)


4. Celebrate the holidays in a more meaningful fashion by getting the All for Science, All for Love pass which can sponsor a trip for public school kids this Christmas. Turn this into a group effort by encouraging your family or friends to do the same. (To inquire about this project, please send your email to inquiry@themindmuseum.org.)
