For Families

CULTURE WITHIN REACH

Constant exposure to new concepts and ideas is so important to a child's development. Cool Culture brings community members together to support families as they raise curious, creative, critical thinkers!

We help parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other caregivers to do what they're already working so hard to do—enrich the lives of their children. It always comes back to the simple idea of families showing their children all the world has to offer.

Cool Culture's programs are specifically designed to help families overcome obstacles that prevent them from visiting the City's wonderful arts and cultural institutions. Once these obstacles are cleared from their path, parents and caregivers learn strategies for creating educationally meaningful trips.

The Cool Culture Family Pass

Cool Culture provides over 50,000 families in 400+ participating early childhood education programs with a personalized Cool Culture Family Pass that entitles up to five family members to free general admission at over 90 museums, botanical gardens and zoos.
