What is the Cool Culture Family Pass? How does it Work?

The Cool Culture Family Pass is a card that entitles eligible families free and unlimited general admission for up to 5 individuals (children and adults) to over 90 partner cultural institutions.

Families present their current Family Pass upon entering the cultural institution. Institutions may request to see photo identification of the Family Pass-holder to confirm that the Family Pass belongs to them; Family Passes are non-transferable!

My school currently participates in Cool Culture. How do my families register for the Family Pass?

Cool Culture holds three Family Pass registration periods each program year. Participating programs are provided registration materials for families for each round of registration.

We Want Cool Culture! How our program apply?

Cool Culture works in partnership with early education programs for a one year period. Each June, the application for the next program year (Nov-Oct) is available. 

Cool Culture works exclusively with early childhood programs in underserved communities: child care, Head Start, Universal Pre-K programs in the community and in select Title I public schools. Please contact us to confirm your program's eligibility and to apply. At this time, Family Day Care programs are not eligible for enrollment.

Why does Cool Culture serve children and families exclusively in early education programs?

Children under 5 years of age are ripe for the learning experiences that cultural activities provide. Visits to cultural institutions at this age help make them lifelong lovers of arts and culture.
