Free Museum Access with Your Membership

December 2015 - Ever wondered if your EAA membership works for free admission to museums outside of the United States? Well, yes, you can visit 14 museums in Canada with just your EAA membership card all the way from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to Vancouver, British Columbia. As you will see below, there are restrictions intended to make this program available to travelers rather than being able to use it at the museum where you live. Your address must be at least 145 kilometers (90 miles) away, as the crow flies, from the museum you want to visit. Just click on this link and enter “Canada” in the country field, and you will see all the museums that you can visit for free.

You will notice that the participating Canadian museums are all science-based. In writing this, I discovered that I could have used the card while visiting family in Austin, Texas. Note to self (and maybe you): Always have your card in your wallet, and think “EAA” if you’re visiting a museum.
