How to claim each discount
Most of these admissions are free for every visitor, so no card is needed. The four free museums (Getty, The Broad, Griffith, California Science Center) honour any reservation system at the door, and the Getty requires a timed-entry slot booked online ahead of arrival.
LACMA's Disability Ticket and free Professional Personal Care Attendant seat are issued at the Ticket Office on arrival. Apply for an LA Metro Reduced Fare TAP card through Metro's customer service; the card activates the daily and weekly fare caps when you tap.
Wheelchair loans are free at the Getty (Lower Tram Station and Museum Entrance Hall), Griffith Observatory (Center of Gravity desk on the Middle Level), The Broad (lobby) and LACMA (Ticket Office). Every loan is first come, first served; arrive at opening on busy days if a loaner is essential to the visit.
