DALLAS - The George W. Bush Presidential Center is opening its museum free to everyone on Veterans Day. The Center's official admission page lists Wednesday, November 11, 2026 among its upcoming free days: open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., free for Veterans Day, courtesy of Sewell Automotive Companies. The free day is for all visitors, not only veterans - members, as always, visit free on any day.
The Bush Center sits on the SMU campus in University Park and houses the presidential museum and library of the 43rd president. A free-admission Wednesday puts it on the same Metroplex map as Arlington's Medal of Honor Museum, which is also free 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day, and Fort Worth's Botanic Garden, free to everyone the same day - three free doors across the two counties on the one day they honor the same people.
For Dallas families, the practical shape of the day is a choice of hours: the city's Veterans Day ceremony and parade run late morning downtown, and the museum's free window runs 9 to 5 around them. The Center advises checking its admission page for any special-hours changes before heading out.
