HUTCHINSON, Kan. — In support of Smallville’s Community Heroes Day on Friday, June 16, the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson is offering a BOGO deal that same day.
First responders, including police, sheriffs, fire and EMS, and 911 dispatchers, will have the opportunity to buy one All-Access Mission Pass and get one free of charge on June 16.
Civil servants will be able to enjoy a documentary in the Carey Digital Dome Theater, experience a planetarium show, see live science in Dr. Goddard's lab and take a trip through the Hall of Space Museum.
The Cosmosphere has hopped on board the Smallville train with its own fun Superman-themed activities.
“We do have in our planetarium, the option to try and point out where the planet [Krypton] may have been,” Mimi Meredith, Cosmosphere Senior Vice President of Communication and Chief Development Officer, said. “We have been given coordinates.”
In DC’s comic book publications, Krypton is the home planet of Superman.
Additionally, Meredith said the Cosmosphere has another role in the Smallville Festival coming up on June 15 through June 17.
“The Cosmosphere is participating, but I am not at liberty to say how,” Meredith said.
In addition to showing their badge or work identification, to receive the BOGO offer, first responders can call (620) 665-9312 or purchase tickets at the Box Office upon arrival. The offer is not available online.
Meredith also reminded Reno County resident first responders and civil servants that their children can enjoy CosmoKids at the Cosmosphere for free.
The Cosmosphere is located at 1100 N. Plum St. in Hutchinson.
