Colorado SNAP recipients receive $1 general admission, up to 10 people, to many different Denver area museums and cultural centers. 

Please note that the discount is good only for general admission. Your EBT card cannot be used to purchase admission tickets, at gift shops, or at cafés/restaurants. Tickets for special exhibits must be purchased separately and cannot be purchased with EBT card.

The discounted admission offer may not be valid on event days. Be sure to check website of each museum/cultural center for special event days before you head out!

In most cases, the discounted admission is an incredible $1 per person, up to 10 people! Other discounts and limitations will be noted in the section "What locations are offering the discount?"

All you need to do to receive discounted admission is show your EBT card at the ticket counter!
