Philly on a Budget: Free & $2 Spots With an ACCESS Card
12
items All my favorite Philly spots that are free or $2 with an EBT/ACCESS card — a whole day out with my three boys without breaking the bank.
Map
My boys could spend all day here! Everything is hands-on so they can touch and play with all of it, and there's even a carousel inside. Only $2 with your ACCESS card!
Please Touch Museum
America's first zoo and my boys love it — the big cats🦁, the monkeys🐒, all of it. Only $2 with your ACCESS card instead of $28, so we can actually go more than once!
Philadelphia Zoo
So much to do — you can walk through a giant heart, play with all the science stuff, and the planetarium is everything. $2 with your ACCESS card!
The Franklin Institute
Dinosaurs! 🦕My boys love the T. rex and all the animals. $2 with your ACCESS card and it's right by the park so you can make a whole day of it.
The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University
This one's more for the bigger kids and grown-ups — it's an old prison and it's so cool to walk through, but it can be a lil spooky for the little ones. Still only $2 with your ACCESS card!
Eastern State Penitentiary
Right on the water and you can walk through a real battleship! My boys love anything with boats. $2 with your ACCESS card, and the submarine tour is $4 more if you want it.
Independence Seaport Museum
Free with your ACCESS card and the steps out front are iconic — my boys love running up the Rocky steps. The art inside is beautiful too!
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Only $5/month! for ACCESS cardholders instead of the regular price. Get cycling for the low 😊
