A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Through our Museums for All program, families who qualify for SNAP or WIC are able to visit the Museum at a drastically reduced admission rate, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to curiosity, creativity, or connection. In 2025, many local families experienced unexpected uncertainty when SNAP and WIC funding was temporarily suspended. For parents already working hard to make ends meet, it meant even fewer opportunities for affordable family activities. Rather than allow those children to miss out on the joy and learning that happens within our walls, the Lincoln Children’s Museum stepped forward. During this challenging time, the Museum opened its doors and offered free admission to low-income families. Parents watched their children explore hands-on exhibits, build inventions, perform on stage, and discover new interests. For many families, the Museum became a place of relief—a space where financial stress paused and laughter returned. Moments like these reinforce our mission: ensuring every child in our community can experience the power of play, belonging, and possibility.
