How to Use the Program
No registration is needed. Families can simply visit participating museums, show their SNAP EBT card along with a photo ID, and enjoy the Museums for All admission rate. You’re welcome to return as often as you like. A SNAP EBT card lets up to four people enjoy the Museums for All rate, though some participating museums may allow more. It’s a good idea to check each museum’s policy in advance.
Before heading to a museum, give them a call or check their website to confirm they’re open and see if you need to book in advance. Your local museum’s website will have the most up-to-date details.
