The Access Pass Provides Affordable Family Fun By Kim Harms

As we slam the door shut on a tough year, there are several things for families to look forward to in 2021 — including hugely discounted prices for qualifying families. The Access Pass program allows families who meet the specifications to visit 12 different Indiana cultural attractions for just $2 per family member per visit, for up to two adults and all dependent children living in the household.

Make sure you call ahead to learn about specific accessibility offerings. For example, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis offers sensory guides, wheelchairs, deaf, hard of hearing and visual impairment assistance. Learn more here: childrensmuseum.org/ visit/accessibility.

The Access Pass is good at 12 cultural attractions including Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, Indiana Historical Society, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Indiana State Museum & Historic Sites, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, The NCAA Hall of Champions, Newfields, Rhythm! Discovery Center, Terre Haute Children’s Museum, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, and WonderLab Museum in Bloomington.

Here to help you put plans in place to give you peace of mind.

Those who qualify include Indiana residents enrolled in Hoosier Healthwise, SNAP and/or TANF. Families can easily enroll online through the Access Pass website (https://www.childrensmuseum. org/access-pass) or visit any of the participating attractions (except the Indiana Repertory Theatre and Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum) to enroll in person. The Access Pass helped over 4,000 Hoosier families enjoy discounted admission this past year (2020). Access Pass cardholder Phil Kern heard about Access Pass through his son’s case manager and is one of many who appreciates that the Access Pass includes a variety of attractions, “Thank you so much for making the Access Pass available,” he said. “It opens a world of new adventures for people with disabilities and truly makes the world a better, happier, and healthier place.”
