Pi Day Celebration & Free Admission Morning | Computer History Museum

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Who says you can’t have your Pi and eat it, too? The Computer History Museum celebrates the never-ending number with Pi-themed activities and fun for all ages on Saturday, March 14, 2015.

Get free admission when you arrive at 9:26 am (or before). From 9:27-10 am enjoy half-price admission ($7.50 each). After 10 am you’ll need to pay full admission ($15 each).

“π” is the symbol used in mathematics to represent the constant ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, which is approximately 3.1415926. To celebrate this phenomenon, math and science lovers everywhere have been joining together since 1988 to honor Pi on 3/14—an homage to the first three digits of everyone’s favorite number. The year 2015 brings a rare opportunity to celebrate on the month, day, and year of the first five digits of Pi—3/14/15. 

Enjoy live music in the lobby and delicious pie, pizza and pints, available for purchase in our Cloud Café.

Why the strange admission breakdown?
