Oh, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County: how I love thee. There are just so many wonderful (and free!) things to do at the library, and my kids are always excited to visit our neighborhood branch. And on our most recent trip, we discovered yet another reason to love the library: the brand-new Discovery Pass program!
With your Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County library card, you can now get free admission to local attractions with the new Discovery Pass!
If you have a library card (and owe less than $10 in fines), you can literally get free admission to several local attractions. (Got fees? It’s super easy to pay them over the phone or in person!)
With the new Discovery Pass program, you can get free tickets to:
- The American Sign Museum
- The Betts House
- Cincinnati Art Museum Special Exhibitions
- Great Parks of Hamilton County
- The Harriet Beecher Stowe House
- The Taft Museum of Art
Here’s how it works:
- Simply use the online reservation system to view which passes are available and to reserve a pass.
- Take the pass to the participating institution for admission
- Passes to The American Sign Museum, The Betts House and The Harriet Beecher Stowe House each admit two people
- Passes to the Cincinnati Art Museum Special Exhibitions each admit four people. General Cincinnati Art Museum access is free and a pass is not required.
- Passes to the Taft Museum of Art admit two people
- Passes to Great Parks of Hamilton County admit one motor vehicle
- (You’ll return Great Parks of Hamilton County passes to any Library location by the due date)
And that’s it! This is a fantastic way to explore some of Cincinnati’s most unique attractions — for free! For more information, visit the library’s website.
Please note: Passes to The American Sign Museum, The Betts House, The Harriet Beecher Stowe House and the Taft Museum of Art are only good for the date of the visit printed on the pass. Passes to The American Sign Museum, The Betts House and The Harriet Beecher Stowe House are only good for the date of the visit printed on the pass.
