With the Culture Pass, library cardholders from the New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, or Queens Public Library gain free admission to dozens of the city’s finest museums, gardens, and cultural institutions. From the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, this initiative makes world-class experiences accessible to everyone.

Here’s how it works:

• Visit culturepass.nyc
• Log in with your library credentials
• Reserve passes to participating venues
• Enjoy your visit—free of charge!

Passes are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, so plan ahead. Some institutions release tickets monthly, so checking back regularly gives you an edge.
