The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children will be bringing safety education to kids on Safety Day at the National Museum of Crime and Punishment. To attract as many children as possible for this important event, the museum has waived the admission fee for all children under 14 years of age, and reduced the admission fee for all other attendees by 50%. The U.S. Secret Service will be at the event to make ID cards with kids’ fingerprints and pictures. Attendees can take part in a Passport to Safety activity, taking them on a scavenger hunt through the museum where they will be quizzed on safety tips in order to win prizes.

The purpose of Safety Day is to educate and make children aware of the dangers surrounding them every day from every angle through conversation and activities. This exciting, informative day will help to prevent children from being harmed and exploited.
