Museums for All
This program allows low-income families to visit the museum for a discounted admission fee of $2 per person, with the presentation of a valid EBT card and picture ID. Please note: Although EBT cards can be used as payment in places like grocery stores, it is not used for payment with this program. It is shown simply to identify the visitor(s) as qualifying for Museums for All. Payment must be made using cash or credit card. Up to four people per EBT card may be admitted at this reduced fee. This discount applies to regular museum admission only, and does not apply to special events or programs.
