As mentioned earlier, your Kentucky EBT Card gives you discounted or FREE access to museums and other great family-friendly places. For more information, continue reading below.

Discounted Museums Admission

One of the great benefits of the Kentucky EBT Card is access to great tourist, cultural, educational and adventure museums. You get discounted admission to museums, zoos, aquariums and many more.

Currently, there are over 7 locations offering free or discounted admission to Kentucky EBT Cardholders.

The Kentucky Museums listed below all offer individual admission fees ranging from FREE to $3.00 to individuals and families who have an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card and a valid form of photo ID.

This reduced rate is available during all normal operating hours to up to four individuals per EBT card. That means if you have a family of 4, you can use your KY EBT card to get the special discounted rate or free admission for all four members.

We advise that you call the museum first before you go – so that you can find out what their special rate is for EBT Card holders (whether it’s free admission or $3).
