“Psssst, here’s a little secret for parents in New York City….”
The IDNYC card is free for all New Yorkers who apply during the first year of the program through December 31, 2015. It is valid for 5 years from the date it is approved.
Just to name some of the benefits of having this card: banks and credit unions, prescription drug discounts, fitness and health centers, supermarket discounts at Food Bazaar, New York City attractions with New York Pass, Veteran Designation Benefits, and more…
With your IDNYC Card you are eligible for a one-year free membership package at 33 of the City’s leading cultural institutions, including world class museums, performing arts centers, concert halls, botanical gardens, and zoos in all five boroughs. These membership packages are comparable to each institution’s standard one-year membership package and will give IDNYC card holders a range of benefits including free or discounted admission, access to special events, and discounts to museum shops and neighborhood businesses.
You will be able to use your IDNYC card at any public library in New York. The card can be integrated with your account at the New York, Brooklyn, and Queens Public Library Systems.
The IDNYC card offers you exclusive discounts on movie tickets, Broadway shows, sporting events, theme parks, and New York City landmarks and attractions.
