How does the program work?
Colorado SNAP recipients receive discounted admission to many different museums and cultural centers by showing their EBT card at the time of purchase.Typically, discounts are only good for general admission. Your EBT card cannot be used to purchase admission tickets, at restaurants or gift shops. Tickets for special exhibits must be purchased separately and cannot be purchased with an EBT card.Information provided here is specific to the regular Colorado EBT card. P-EBT may not be accepted in all locations.In addition, some organizations are offering discounts for the services they provide. Those discounts, and services, vary from organization to organization.
What is the discount?
Discounts vary from location to location. The discounted admission offer may not be valid every day, or on special event days, so it is recommended to check with each venue before heading out.
How do I access the discount?
Typically, all you need to do to access the discount is to show your EBT card at the ticket office.
