As of Nov. 1, 2017 admission fees at all three North Carolina Aquariums will be reduced for North Carolina residents presenting an Electronic Benefits Transfer, or EBT, card along with a valid form of photo identification. Under the new program, adult admission will be $3 and $2 for children ages 3-12. Up to four individuals can be admitted with each North Carolina EBT card presented. There is no charge for children age 2 and under.
I have not heard of a new benefit but I would call the local social services office in your general local area and they will confirm if this is true as I would only believe what they say. I do not know anyone directly that has said anything about a new benefit so I would check with that source first.
