Boston Family Days gives all Boston school-age students (Pre-K–12) and their families free admission to nine major museums on the first two Sundays of each month. At the ICA, eligible students can bring up to two family members and visit free 10 AM–5 PM on Nov 1, Nov 8, Dec 6 and Dec 13, 2026 (more dates continue). Students must be Boston residents enrolled in grades Pre-K–12 (Boston residents attending school outside Boston qualify; non-residents at Boston private or parochial schools do not).
