Empowering Mississippi's Future Through Play & Possiblity
Fun and educational visits for schools
Ticket to Learn, presented by Gulf Coast Community Federal Credit Union, is an exciting initiative that brings joy, discovery, and opportunity to students. As a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit, TrainTastic is committed to creating brighter futures through hands-on, play-based learning.
In Mississippi, more than 90% of public schools serve children from low-income families. Kids full of potential, but often limited by access. Ticket to Learn opens the door to high quality educational experiences by providing free or reduced admission to TrainTastic’s immersive STEM and transportation-themed exhibits.
Through the power of play, exploration, and imagination, students build vital life skills with creativity, critical thinking, and curiosity, all while in a space designed to inspire wonder and lifelong learning.
