Museum Adventure Pass

The adventure begins at your Library! Use the Smartest Card – your Library card – to receive free admission or a special discount at 18 unique Chicago area cultural destinations.

Four passes for each participating museum are available on a first-come, first-served basis each week. A family may check out one pass, admitting up to two or four people, for a seven-day loan period.

Explore the Museum Adventure Pass website to learn about each of the destinations.
