What is the Cool Culture Family Pass? 

The Cool Culture Family Pass is a card that allows eligible families free and unlimited general admission to 90 participating cultural institutions. 

How can I get one?

Your family is eligible to receive a Cool Culture Family Pass ONLY if you have a child enrolled in a currently participating early childhood program. If your child's program participates, please ask your Cultural Liaison about Family Pass registration.

Can I get a Family Pass if I don't have a child enrolled in a participating program?

No. In addition, please note that Cool Culture Family Passes are not for sale.

We want Cool Culture! How can I get my child’s program to participate?

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