Cool Culture believes that families have a right to cultural equity and access.
Enrollment for the Family Pass is through eligible early childhood centers and Title I school partners who have enrolled in our CityWide Cultural Access Program. The schools and centers then sign up their families with children in early childhood programs, 3K, pre-K, and Kindergarten. Please encourage your school or child care center to explore Cool Culture enrollment! If you don’t have our Family Pass, check out this list of arts and cultural resources with free or suggested admission.

Cool Pops are collaborations with our cultural institutions and Cultural Liaisons to craft site-specific activities for families. They provide a warm welcome to families visiting museums in person while Virtual Tours enable families to visit museums without leaving home.
