Twin Cities Business Listing

Bank of America Museums on Us is a program that offers its cardholders free general admission to 150 museums nationwide on the first full weekend of every month.

Is Museums On Us a Good Deal for Families?

This deal is probably best for single people or couples who are both cardholders. You must be a Bank of America or Merrill Lynch cardholder to receive ONE free admission. Family members will still need to pay. For most families, this will amount to more of a discount than free admission. However, if you are looking for a chance to visit, dropping the price by one or two adults, can make a big difference in the admission total.

Check our Museums & Historic Sites page for the best deals at local sites.

4 Participating Minnesota Museums:

Minnesota residents have four options for participating museums*. They can choose between:

1. Mill City Museum
2. The Minnesota History Center
3. James J. Hill House, and
4. Fort Snelling (opens Memorial Day through October).

Or, there is no rule that you couldn’t hit all four in a weekend. All four museums are in the Twin Cities.

*Participating museums are subject to change (however we have verified most recently in May 2022). We suggest checking the Bank of America museum map before going.
