Museum Pass vs PassportMap

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.

Your museum, zoo or garden membership is a passport. Reciprocal admission networks let members in free or at a discount at thousands of other places, if you know where to look. PassportMap shows you. EVERY NETWORK, ONE MAP More than 3,200 attractions from thirteen reciprocal networks: the ASTC Travel Passport Program for science centers, NARM and ROAM for art, history and culture museums, Time Travelers for history museums, the AHS Garden Network for botanical gardens, and AZA for zoos and aquariums; ACM for children's museums; ANCA for nature centers; the Smithsonian Affiliate Reciprocal Program (SARP); MARP and Western Reciprocal for art museums; The Met Reciprocal Network; and Partners of the West for aviation museums. Science centers, art and history museums, children's museums, historic homes, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, arboretums and nature centers, across North America and beyond. WHAT YOUR MEMBERSHIP GETS YOU Add the places where you're a member. PassportMap works out which networks each membership belongs to and what it gets you at every attraction: free, half price or member price. Each network's distance rules are worked out too, like ASTC's 90 miles, so you know before you go. NEARBY, CLOSEST FIRST Every participating place around you, sorted by distance, with what your memberships get you at each one. Filter by kind of place or by network. One tap for directions in the maps app you use. ROAD TRIPS (PRO) Plan a trip in four questions: where from, where to, any stops along the way, and how far off the road you'll go. PassportMap finds every attraction in that corridor, stretch by stretch, and puts your stops in the best driving order. On the road, your next stop is one tap away, and you check off each one as you visit. YOUR CARD, READY AT THE DESK (PRO) Keep a photo of each membership card, front and back, so it's ready at the counter. VISITS (PRO) Mark the places you've been and watch your map fill in. FREE TO EXPLORE The map, every attraction's details, what your memberships get you, the Nearby list and directions are all free. Pro adds the road trip planner, your membership cards and visits, and removes ads. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription, and new subscribers may be eligible for a free trial. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account to make. Your memberships, trips, visits and card photos stay on your device. On iPhone and iPad. PassportMap is an independent app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of these networks or the organizations that run them. Each attraction sets its own admission policy and can change it at any time, so confirm with the attraction before you visit.
