Get a Pass to the Zoo, Museums and Other Cultural Institutions

Museum Adventure Pass

Our passes are available to adults with current Alsip-Merrionette Park Library cards. (Many other districts offer this program to their residents, also.)

Bring your library card to pick up a printed pass from the Information Desk, or call library staff and ask for a pass to be emailed or printed: 708.371.5666 x 139 for Adult Services and x140 for Youth Services.

We have a limited number of passes, and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can use them any time within the seven-day loan period. One Museum Adventure Pass may be checked out per family, per loan period.

Admission offers vary per museum. If no admission is charged, another special discount will be available. Program details can be found at museumadventure.org and the destination list is available from their link: Find Museums, Libraries and Passes.

Passes are typically limited to general admission, and not special exhibits or parking. During COVID, check if you need an appointment at the institution you plan to visit.

Museum Adventure Passes cover the Brookfield Zoo and suburban museums, not the largest downtown Chicago museums.  Any questions? Contact Adult Services at 708.926.7024.

Explore More Illinois

Explore More Illinois is a free service provided by your library with instant online access to free and discounted tickets to museums, science centers, sporting events, zoos, park districts, theatres, and other fun and local cultural venues.

Their site requires an Alsip-Merrionette Park Library card (21145) and PIN instead of a library visit to pick up a printed pass. Patrons are allowed two active reservations per library card at any given time.
