Access For All

Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples makes the community a priority. CMON dedicates significant resources towards initiatives that enhance education in the lives of all children and families in our community and access to the museum and our programming. 

EBT Program: CMON has joined the Museums for All initiative that provides access for EBT, SNAP, and WIC cardholders. Museum fees can be a barrier for many under-resourced families. Cardholders receive a deep admission and membership discount when shown with a photo ID.

Library Access Pass: The CMON Library Access Pass is good for free admission for up to four guests (must include at least 1 child and 1 adult). Additional guests will pay Local Resident Admission pricing. Passes are checked out at your local library branch with a valid library card. 

Discovery Night: CMON regularly hosts community organizations that serve children and families for a special visit to the museum, providing a safe and secure environment for their families and/or caregivers.

Exceptional Wedsnedays:  Every Wednesday from 9 AM–1 PM, CMON offers sensory-friendly museum hours with lower lights, no music, lighter crowds, and calm-down spaces—creating a more comfortable way for families to explore, play, and learn together.

Title 1 Field Trips: CMON offers field trips to the museum for all Kindergarten classes in Title 1 Collier County schools at no cost to the school, provided they have transportation to and from the museum.
