What is Free Admission with EBT Program?
If you currently have a New York Food Stamps EBT card (NY SNAP EBT Card), you are eligible for free or discounted admission to over 600 museums nationwide.
This program is sponsored by Museums for All, and includes access to all types of museums — including art, history, natural history/anthropology, and general museums, children’s museums, science centers, planetariums, nature centers, historic houses/sites, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and arboretums.
Although the program is targeted at Food Stamps EBT Cardholders, many sites allow EBT cards from other programs, including:
- WIC EBT Card
- EBT Card from TANF
- EBT Card from General Cash Assistance
Participating museums provide reduced admission, ranging from free to $3.00, to visitors presenting their EBT card.
