access programs

All children should have the chance to dream big. At National Children’s Museum, we are working to ensure that all children can access the high-quality science, technology, engineering, arts, and math experiences and programs that will spark their imagination.

community access program

National Children’s Museum partners with trusted, local organizations to ensure the price of admission is not a barrier for the families they serve. Through this program, constituents of partner organizations who may otherwise be unable to attend may access free tickets.

Are you an organization in the DMV area that serves families with low incomes and is interested in becoming a Community Access Program partner?
