Free Museum Passes

I got my first cultural pass this week to the Phoenix Children's Museum. I am always looking for free places to take my kids so I wasn't about to pass this up. I believe every library in the valley has passes to 12 museums that you can check out. I got to the library an hour before it opened and waited in line. It was a good thing I did because all passes were gone within 30 seconds of the library opening. The librarian told me that I am able to check online to see which passes are available and then I know whether or not it is worth it to go wait in line to get the pass. I will definitely be going to get another pass to somewhere else in a couple of weeks.

What website can we check to see what passes they have?

That is cool! Thanks for the link! So tell me everything you know? I am guessing there is one pass to each place per library. How long do you have to use the pass?

Thanks again for the info!

I know that Phx libraries have 5 passes for each library, but each city may be different. I called my library to get all of the information and they were very helpful. The passes are good for 7 days. On the Phx library website I can type in the search area the museum I am wanting to find passes for and it will show up with which library has it. I also know that the botanical gardens are not available until after June 1st. That is the one I was wanting to get for the butterfly garden so I was dissapointed.
