community access program

all children should have the chance to dream big

the details


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.

We have paused ongoing enrollment for new Community Access Program partners. If you are an organization in the DMV area that serves families with low incomes and are still interested in enrolling in the program later this fall, please reach out to community@nationalchildrensmuseum.org.

how to redeem


Community members belonging to our partner organizations can book tickets through the Community Access Program using the general admission calendar on our tickets page. Remember to have your organization’s partner code handy! Please reach out to your organization for step-by-step instructions to make your reservation.

If you have any questions please email our team at community@nationalchildrensmuseum.org.
