The math

Regular adult admission at PAMM is $18, so timing the visit to the free window keeps $36 in a couple's pocket and up to $72 for a family of four — every qualifying week. And since this free day is open to everyone, it's the cheapest possible way through the door.

Other ways in, no calendar required

  • There's also Museums for All — show a SNAP EBT card and photo ID at any of 1,700+ participating institutions and up to four people pay $5 or less, every normal operating day. Whether PAMM participates is on the official roster.
  • An art- or history-museum membership from another city may already cover PAMM: check the NARM roster with our reciprocity lookup — a qualifying membership travels to 1,400+ museums.

Dates don't line up?

Regular tickets ($18 adult) are on pamm.org; buying direct means no reseller markup. And if you hold a museum, science-center or zoo membership from another city, run it through our reciprocity lookup — it may already get you in.
