Museum for All
We are proud to join the Museum for All, an initiative of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Museums for All is about accessibility and inclusiveness for all visitors. At the Idaho Museum of Natural History we offer FREE admission as part of the Museum for All program. Visitors simply display their Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. Although EBT cards can be used as payment in places like grocery stores, it is not used for payment with this program. It is shown simply to identify the visitor(s) as qualifying for Museums for All.
Up to four individuals can receive the Museums for All benefit with the presentation of one EBT card. The individuals should all be part of the same group, of course. EBT cards from any state are valid for receiving the Museums for All benefit. Does not apply to special events or camps.
Museum for All is made possible in part by the Idaho National Laboratory.
