Educator FAQs

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

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

Families present their Family Pass along with the photo ID of an adult whose last name corresponds with the name of the Family Pass at the admissions area for entry.

Please be aware of the following: The Family Pass expires October 31st of each year and cannot be used after their expiration. Family Passes are not transferable. Family Passes cannot be used to gain admission for large group or class field trips. Special performances, exhibitions and movies are subject to additional fees not covered by the Family Pass.

How do my families register for the Cool Culture Family Pass?

Each year, Cool Culture has a Fall, Winter and Spring Family Pass registration. Materials are provided participating early childhood programs (PDF) to distribute amongst their families.

 

We Want Cool Culture! How do we enroll our program?

Cool Culture works in partnership with early education programs for a one year period. Each summer, Cool Culture distributes enrollment invitations.

Cool Culture works exclusively with early childhood programs in underserved communities: child care, Head Start, Universal Pre-Kindergarten programs in the community and in select Title I public schools. Please contact us to confirm your program's eligibility and to enroll.

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 institution at this age can make them lifelong lovers of arts and culture.
