Through a partnership with Museums for All, families or persons who hold an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or Pennsylvania EBT ACCESS card will now receive free admission to the North Museum of Nature and Science.

Museums for All is a national program that encourages families of all backgrounds to visit museums and build lifelong learning experiences by offering low- or no-cost admission to museums and cultural centers for people who receive food assistance benefits. More than 1,000 U.S. institutions participate in the program, which is an initiative of the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Association of Children's Museums.

EBT, SNAP, and ACCESS cardholders must present their cards in order for them and their family members to receive free admission to the museum's exhibits, permanent collections, and live animal room. The museum's planetarium shows are available for a reduced admission price.

Now in its 72nd year, the North Museum impacts thousands of local students and their families annually through its education initiatives in the museum, in the community, and at home. Programs include field trips, early childhood education programs, summer camps, STEM Sisters, the Science and Engineering Fair for middle and high school students, and many other educational programs designed to create access to free and reduced-cost STEM learning opportunities and strengthen the foundation of youths in the Lancaster community and beyond.
