Teacher's Month At Seminole Museum
BIG CYPRESS RESERVATION, Fla. (May 11, 2026) – The Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum is proud to once again celebrate Teacher Appreciation Month this July by offering complimentary admission to educators throughout the entire month.
Teachers will have the opportunity to explore dynamic exhibits showcasing historic and modern Seminole life, along with the museum’s expansive mile-long boardwalk through a scenic cypress dome in the heart of the Florida Everglades.
Educators may also bring up to four guests, who will receive 50% off the standard admission rate.
The program provides teachers with an opportunity to plan ahead while discovering engaging educational resources that can help infuse Seminole culture and Everglades flora and fauna into classroom lesson plans.
Located on the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation, the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum serves as a vital educational resource, offering meaningful learning opportunities focused on Native American history and culture, as well as the unique ecosystems of the Florida Everglades.
Teachers are encouraged to utilize featured exhibits, cultural resources and environmental experiences to create memorable and enriching learning opportunities for their students. Information tied to applicable Next Generation Standards is also available upon request.
Visitors are encouraged to tour the boardwalk before heading indoors to explore the galleries due to the unpredictable nature of Florida’s summer weather patterns.
The Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except July 4, when the museum will be closed in observance of Independence Day.
To sign up for the free visit, teachers should register at https://www.ahtahthiki.com/teachers/.
Teachers must present valid school credentials, such as a school ID or a note from the school, upon entry.
