Get museum admission discounts with your Maryland food stamps card!
For your convenience, we’ve organized our free and discounted museum admission list alphabetically by city. The museums with green titles are Museums for All participants. These venues accept EBT cards from all 50 states, so you don’t have to be a Maryland resident to get these great deals!
Please note that you cannot pay for admission with your Maryland food stamps card. You will show the Maryland food stamps card to receive the discount but you will need to pay the remaining admission price, if any, in cash or with a credit/debit card.
Annapolis
Chesapeake Children’s Museum – $1 per person
Although Chesapeake Children’s Museum participates in the Museums for All program, they don’t provide any information about it on their website. I’m currently waiting for a reply from the museum but I know their admission can’t exceed $3 per person for EBT cardholders. It’s part of the Museums for All rules. 🙂
However, CCM offers a generous free admission program. For example, in June 2016 anyone can get free admission if they bring 3 empty Styrofoam egg containers per person (or a ream of copy paper for two people).
Baltimore
Jewish Museum of Maryland – $1 per person
As America’s leading museum of regional Jewish history and culture, the Museum provides precious insights into Jewish traditions and community. The campus includes the history Lloyd Street and B’nai Israel Synagogues. A gallery, library, shop and program areas are also available.

Hi Lip,
I wanted to let you know I had to edit out the last part of your comment! That actually might be considered welfare fraud in Maryland and we don’t want you or anyone else to get in trouble doing that- be very careful! Your tip about CVS Extra Bucks is great, though, I’m going to let our researchers now so they can learn a little more about it- thank you!
