It’s been a weird year, but there’s a bright spot for students as classes resume: Free and discounted admission to New York City museums and zoos.
More than a dozen institutions across all five boroughs, like the Museum of Modern Art and the Bronx Zoo, are letting students visit for free or at a reduced rate in the next few weeks.
The Morgan Library & Museum is providing free tickets to kids 18 and under and their caregivers this Wednesday through Friday. An advance reservation is required, and can be made by emailing tickets@themorgan.org with the desired date and time. The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is offering a discounted family pass for two adults and up to three children ages 7 to 17 for $82, which can be reserved on the museum’s website.
Admission to the Museum of Modern Art and the New Museum is free for everyone through Sept. 27, with advance reservations required.
Admission is pay what you wish at the Whitney Museum of American Art through the end of September, with advance reservations required. And, as always, New York residents can pay what they wish at the American Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A list of other cultural institutions that have reopened or are reopening soon can be found on the NYC & Company website.
