Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles gives TK through Grade 12 teachers free admission, each with one guest, through its Educator Perks page. You reserve online ahead of time with promo code 99957 and show ID when you arrive. The same page adds 10% off at Audrey’s Museum Store and 25% off any Skirball membership category.
If you’re planning a weekend in Los Angeles with someone who’d like to come along, or you want to see the place yourself before you book a class trip, the free admission covers you and one guest. The part to plan around is the reservation, because the page is clear that you can’t just show up with your ID.
How To Get The Skirball Cultural Center Teacher Discount
The Educator Perks page says free tickets must be redeemed by advance reservation and that walk-ups won’t be accommodated. Reserve online and enter the promo code 99957. The visit page lists the same code in its Special Admission Programs for TK through Grade 12 teachers, each with one guest, and says to enter the promo code at checkout when you reserve tickets online.
Eligibility is verified when you arrive. Both pages say to be prepared to show a valid ID, so carry yours on the day you go.
The Store And Membership Discounts
The Educator Perks page says teachers receive 10% off when shopping onsite at Audrey’s Museum Store, all year round, off books, art supplies, music and more. It asks you to show your teacher ID to receive the benefits.
The page also says TK through Grade 12 teachers who sign up to become Skirball Members receive 25% off all membership categories. To get the teacher discount, the page says to email membership@skirball.org or call (310) 440-4526 after looking over the membership categories.
Who Counts As A Teacher
The page says TK through Grade 12 teachers. It doesn’t name a state, a district or a type of school, so the wording isn’t limited to California teachers or to public schools. It also doesn’t mention homeschool teachers or substitutes, and it asks for a valid ID at check-in and a teacher ID at the store.
What Everyone Pays
The visit page lists general admission at $20, with $15 for seniors, full-time students with ID and children 2 to 17. Admission is free to members and to children under 2, and the page lists admission as free to all on Thursdays. Since Thursday is free for everyone, the teacher offer matters most on the other days you can visit.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
The Educator Perks page doesn’t print an end date for the perks. It doesn’t say whether homeschool teachers or substitutes count, and it doesn’t say which ID is accepted beyond a valid ID at check-in and a teacher ID at the store.
