Boston Family Days Returns for a New Season

Let’s have some fun! Pick up a passport!
Boston Family Days is an extraordinary public-private partnership between the City, corporate and philanthropic partners, and 23 of the City’s leading cultural institutions to help Boston school-aged children feel at home in places that can expand their learning and show them the world.
Through Boston Family Days, all students who live in Boston (grades K-12 and Boston Pre-K) and two guests can explore many of the City’s cultural institutions for free on the first and second Sunday of each month until December 2026.
In addition, Boston students and their families also have free access to live performances at Boston’s premier venues. Students who are registered for Boston Family Days will receive ticket reservation links and instructions from the City before the performances.
Once you have completed this enrollment for your child, you will receive your Boston Family Days pass. This pass can be shown for free admission for your child and up to two guests at the following institutions on the first and second Sunday of each month through December 2026 at the following institutions:
- Museum of Fine Arts
- Museum of Science
- Museum of African American History
- John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum
- Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
- Boston Children’s Museum
- Franklin Park Zoo
- Institute of Contemporary Art
- New England Aquarium
- Paul Revere House
- Old North Illuminated
- USS Constitution Museum
- Revolutionary Spaces: Old State House and Old South Meeting House – Downtown
You will also receive bi-weekly emails about the program with special opportunities and reminders.
Note for BPS Families: If your child is enrolled in Boston Public Schools or Boston Pre-K, they are automatically signed up for this program. You will continue to receive your Boston Family Days pass directly via BPS. Please ensure that your email address is updated in the BPS system.
