Families First Discovery Pass Program

The New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the New Jersey Historical Commission have partnered with the NJ Departments of Human Services (DHS) and Health (DOH) to launch New Jersey’s Families First Discovery Pass program. This program provides families and individuals enrolled in state assistance programs with free or highly discounted admission to arts and history organizations, venues, and in–person and virtual programs. The Families First Discovery Pass Program offers broad access to cultural experiences for New Jersey residents and helps cultural organizations engage new audiences with the goal of building long-lasting relationships. Residents who receive benefits through SNAP, WFNJ, Child Care Subsidy, and/or WIC are eligible for free or steeply discounted cultural programs throughout the State.

How it works:
Free admission for families and individuals enrolled in state assistance programs (SNAP, WFNJ, or WIC). Please select the Families First Discovery Pass option at online checkout, and present Families First or WIC card at the reception counter.
