Bank of America cardholders get free admission to over 175 museums and cultural centers every first weekend of each month this year!

Time to save money and go on some cultured outings with your loved ones.

With Bank of America’s “Museums on Us” Program, anyone with a Bank of America or Merrill Lynch debit or credit card, including authorized users, will be able to waltz into participating museums for free.

2018 Schedule for Free Museums

Here are the remaining full weekends of the year:

  • September 7th & 8th
  • October 5th & 6th
  • November 2nd & 3rd
  • December 7th & 8th

How to Get in For Free

The program is extremely easy to participate in.

  1. Show up at participating museums, centers, zoos and more on the first full weekend of each month.
  2. Show an active Bank of America or Merrill Lynch debit or credit card with photo ID
  3. You’ll get issued a ticket just like a paid customer but for free

Each person attending needs to have their own active Bank of America or Merrill Lynch card though otherwise he/she will have to pay their own individual admission. Families can use authorized user cards to get in for free as well.

Participating Museums, Centers, Zoos And More

33 states and 98 cities participate in the Museums on Us program so there’s plenty to see!

If easier, you can also search by Zip Code here.

Even better is that there is NO limit to how many times you can visit a museum and how many museums you can see. If you’re able to, you can see 2-3 different locations on the same weekend!

Not into museums? You can also check out participating:

  • Zoos
  • Aquariums
  • Science Centers
  • Gardens
  • Cultural Centers

Note that special exhibits that normally cost extra to see are excluded from the Museums On Us free general admission.

Plan your free days accordingly and save a bunch on admission fees this year!
