Regular adult admission at Please Touch Museum is $24, so timing the visit to the free window keeps $48 in a couple's pocket and up to $96 for a family of four — each published date. And since this free day is open to everyone, it's the cheapest possible way through the door. The catch is capacity, not money: free slots are reserved in advance and the popular dates go first, so the reservation is the real currency here.
No upcoming free dates are published right now. Please Touch Museum announces free days on its official page — that's the place to watch; batches are typically announced monthly or quarterly.
Regular tickets ($24 per person (everyone age 1+)) are on pleasetouchmuseum.org; buying direct means no reseller markup. Multi-attraction visitors can compare CityPASS Philadelphia, which packages top Philadelphia sights below walk-up prices; whether Please Touch Museum appears in the lineup changes year to year, so verify before you buy.
