Join us for Family Day 2026 on Saturday, October 3!
Spend the day reconnecting with your student, exploring campus, and enjoying a variety of activities, entertainment, and traditions that make Family Day unique at SUNY Purchase. Check in will run 9:00am-1:00pm.
There’s something for everyone at Family Day, from our beloved Pumpkin Patch, tie-dye, and caricature portraits to lawn games, inflatables, a mechanical bull, and the annual Family Human Soccer match. Explore the arts at Purchase with guided tours of the Neuberger Museum of Art and Visual Arts Building, plus hands-on crafts for all ages. Registration includes brunch in the Dining Hall, accompanied by performances from talented Purchase student musicians.
Pay What You Can
This year, we are introducing a pay-what-you-can registration model to make Family Day accessible for all families. The suggested fee is $30 per person, and children 12 and under attend free.
If you are able to pay the suggested amount, we greatly appreciate your support. If your circumstances allow, we also invite you to consider paying above the suggested amount. Any additional funds will help offset costs for families who may not be able to pay the full suggested fee.
Registration is no longer available because the registration deadline has passed.
