The Lawrence Hall of Science is proud to participate in Museums for All, a national initiative that helps make high-quality museum experiences accessible to everyone. Visitors who present a state-issued SNAP Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card and valid photo ID receive free general admission for the cardholder and up to five additional individuals at The Lawrence.

This benefit is available year round during The Lawrence’s regular operating hours. EBT cards from any U.S. state are accepted. No advance registration for Museums for All is required. Simply present your EBT card and valid photo ID at Visitor Services when you arrive. Your EBT card is used only to verify eligibility and is not used as payment.

Museums for All is an initiative of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), administered by the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM), and encourages individuals and families receiving food assistance to visit museums and build lifelong museum-going habits.
