Free Museum Access for NSW Primary School Students

The NSW Government has continued its popular Kids' Adventure Passport in 2011.

The Passport provides primary school children with free access to cultural institutions in NSW which includes 71 museums, galleries and art centres. Participating students have their passport stamped at each cultural institution they visit and will receive a recognition certificate once they collect three stamps on their Adventure Passport.

NSW Premier Kristina Keneally explained "the Kids' Adventure Passport will make our Stateâs network of world renowned cultural venues more affordable and accessible for families right across NSW.

"Museums are a great way to introduce children to art, history and science outside of the classroom environment and the Kids' Adventure Passport will ensure all NSW students have an opportunity to enjoy our world class museums and galleries."

Participating venues include: Hay Gaol Museum; The Sydney Opera House; Elizabeth Farm; The Sydney Observatory; Rouse Hill House and Farm; Maitland Regional Art Gallery; The Powerhouse Museum; and The Don Bradman Museum and International Cricket Hall of Fame.

The program will run until 26th April 2011.
