The Kansas City Royals Foundation will sponsor free admission for active-duty military members and veterans at the National WWI Museum and Memorial from Friday, Nov. 6, through Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, in honor of Veterans Day. The admission promotion is extended to spouses and dependents with ID. The Museum and Memorial is also offering half-price general admission for the public during this period.
The Royals Foundation’s gift will help invite visitors to explore the history and lasting impact of World War I while advancing one of its core priorities: supporting military members, veterans and their families.
“We are honored to help showcase the care that Matthew Naylor and his team put into telling one of the most important stories in our country’s and the world’s history,” Royals Chairman and CEO John Sherman said. “Honoring and supporting veterans is a pillar of the Royals Foundation’s mission and knowing our history is critical to building the best path forward.”
“There’s no better way to mark Veterans Day during the nation’s 250th than by welcoming those who have served our country,” said Matthew Naylor, president and CEO of the National WWI Museum and Memorial. “We’re proud to partner with The Royals Foundation to make that possible and to invite the community to join us.”
The Museum’s regular hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday through Monday; it is closed on Tuesdays. On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2026, the Museum will be open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Full Veterans Day schedule
