BIG CYPRESS RESERVATION — The Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum is proud to announce the celebration of Teachers Appreciation Month in July. Teachers can now plan ahead for a complimentary admission to the museum throughout the entire month of July. Teachers are welcome to bring up to four guests that will receive 50% off the standard admission rate.

The initiative offers teachers a unique opportunity to explore Seminole history and culture beyond the classroom, while supporting curriculum goals and aligning with Next Generation Standards upon request.

The visit includes access to dynamic exhibits showcasing both historic and modern Seminole life, as well as an expansive mile-long boardwalk through a stunning cypress dome.

The Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum is a vital resource for educators, providing a unique opportunity to enhance curricula with hands-on learning about the history and culture of Native Americans and the diverse ecosystems of the Florida Everglades.

Teachers are encouraged to integrate the museum’s resources into their lesson plans and provide students with a memorable and exciting learning experience.

There are many excellent learning opportunities on the Big Cypress Seminole Indian reservation, ranging from the history and culture of the Native Americans to the diverse eco-systems of the Florida Everglades.

To sign up for the free visit, teachers should register at https://www.ahtahthiki.com/teachers/.

Due to the unpredictable nature of summer weather patterns, be sure to tour the boardwalk first before heading back inside for the galleries.

Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except on July 4, when it will be closed in observance of the holiday.

Teachers must present valid school credentials, such as a school ID or a note from the school, upon entry.
