2020 Pay What You Can Weekend Brings in More Than 2,300 Visitors
Chris Hauff Jan 08, 2020
On January 4 and 5, Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum adjusted admission prices based on the needs of visitors as part of the museum’s 9th annual “Pay What You Can” weekend. Instead of the standard admission and parking fees, guests were encouraged to pay any amount of money they can afford.
More than 2,300 visitors flooded the museum over just two days, more than any average January weekend.
“The ‘Pay What You Can’ weekend has become a tradition for Lowcountry families,” said Patriots Point Executive Director Larry Murray. “Budgets are tight after the holidays. This is a great way for people to enjoy time with their families without having to worry about the cost. We are also proud to serve as a wonderful learning opportunity to students who are out on winter break. A visit to see the USS Yorktown can spark interest in naval history just in time for the second half of the school year.”
