Phipps Conservatory Announces Partnership with Museums for All
Families with Electronic Benefit Transfer Cards Can Now Access The Glasshouse at a Reduced Rate
Pittsburgh, PA – Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is proud to announce a new partnership with Museums for All. Through Museums for All, Phipps now offers general admission for up to four people for $3 each with presentation of an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card from any state.
Museums for All is a national, branded access program that encourages individuals of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly and build lifelong museum habits. Since the launch of the initiative in 2014/2015, Museums for All has served more than 2.5 million visitors nationwide at more than 500 museums of all varieties, representing 48 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Phipps invites families from all over to experience the beauty of the glasshouse. Eligible parties should not complete their transactions online, but instead make their reservation in advance by calling 412-622-6914 during Phipps’ normal operating hours of 9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. daily. Guests must also present a photo ID showing the same address as the EBT cardholder. This discount does not apply to the Port Authority ACCESS card and is not valid with any other offer.
