The Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation in partnership with Museums for All, a signature access program of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the Association of Children’s Museums, is offering free admission to those receiving food assistance (SNAP Benefits) in order to increase accessibility of high-quality museum learning resources and encourage people of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly and build a lifelong appreciation of museums.

Museums for All helps expand access to museums and also raise public awareness about how museums in the U.S. are reaching their entire communities. More than 850 institutions participate in the initiative.

Who is eligible?

The offer is valid for individuals and families receiving food assistance benefits through SNAP Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) and includes up to four visitors per EBT card.

What do you need to bring?

Bring your SNAP Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card and valid photo ID to the visitor services desks at each museum.

What is included?

  • Single day admission during normal operating hours.
  • Access to our interactive exhibits including 180-degree theaters, life-size re-creations, outdoor experiences and more.
  • Access to daytime special events and special exhibitions offered throughout the year. Separate ticketed programs do not qualify for free admission.
