Museum Pass shows you which museums, zoos and gardens are free to visit — today, this week, or later this month. Pick your city and the home screen tells you what is free, grouped by when you can actually go: Today, This week, Later, and Always free. FIVE CITIES, 97 VENUES • Chicago — 39 venues • Washington, DC — 23 venues • Los Angeles — 16 venues • New York — 10 venues • San Francisco Bay Area — 9 venues ONLY THE DAYS THAT APPLY TO YOU Most free days come with conditions. Say who is going — state or county residents, students, teachers, veterans, serving military, under-18s, EBT and Museums for All cardholders, Bank of America cardholders — and the list shows only the days you actually qualify for. NEVER MISS ONE Switch on a reminder for any free day and you will hear the morning before and the morning of. EVERY DATE, NOT JUST THE NEXT ONE Each venue lists every upcoming free date it has published, months ahead, along with the hours, the conditions, and whether you need to reserve a timed-entry pass. One tap for directions, the ticket page or the phone. CHECKED AGAINST EACH VENUE'S OWN SITE Free-admission policies change constantly and third-party listings go stale. Every entry here is read from the museum's own website. Where a venue's own site does not confirm a free day, it is not listed — even when other sites say otherwise. Light and dark, following your device or set by hand. Free. No account, no sign-in, no ads.
