Cool Culture

for Visiting
If you’re not sure where to go, look at Family Time or other publications or check the Internet for ideas.

for Learning
Let your children do some of the guiding during the visit. When you enter a room, ask them what they would like to look at first.

Access With the Cool Culture Family Pass participating low-income families are able to visit forty-eight cultural institutions, including NYC’s best museums, botanical gardens, and zoos, at any time for free.


		Information Our quarterly publication, Family Time, provides low-income families with information about cultural institutions and a calendar of their family events. Cool Culture educational materials suggest techniques for visiting cultural institutions in a way that supports a child’s early education. Family Time now available on our website! Click here >

		Support Training, Culture Fairs, and other outreach activities create a network of informed peer advocates or Cultural Liaisons among parents, guardians, and staff at participating agencies. Cultural Liaisons encourage families to visit cultural institutions, help them feel comfortable doing so, and provide them with techniques to make those visits as enriching as possible for children.
