Do you like museums? Do you like free stuff? Well, if you receive food assistance through SNAP — the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — and have an EBT card, guess what? You can visit tons of museums free or at a deeply discounted rate. And you can even bring a friend.

It’s the Museums for All program that aims to make sure families can enjoy history and culture even if they’re financially challenged. It provides access to 1,400 museums and gardens around the country, which people can access by showing an EBT card and photo ID. Museums cost $5 or less for up to four people per visit, and many have free admission.

(EBT stands for electronic benefit transfer card.)

Note that this national program, launched in 2014, requires a SNAP membership. But some museums will also accept WIC cards — Women, Infants and Children program — so check the individual spots. It operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands, so you can even enjoy it on vacation.

In some cases, you need to sign up in advance, so check the venue’s website.

Here are a few of the many choices. Search at museums4all.org by venue name or state for more.
