Five institutions rejoined the Museum Pass Program in March 2022: the Center for Wooden Boats, the Henry Art Gallery, Museum of History & Industry, the Seattle Art Museum and the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
HOW MUSEUM PASS WORKS
Library cardholders may reserve one free Museum Pass per week. Each Museum Pass provides admission for at least two adults, although some passes allow more and may include free admission for kids ages 17 and under.
The pass for Woodland Park Zoo allows entry for up to four (4) people, with children 2 and under admitted for free.
You can sign up for a pass to a specific organization once every 30 days. New passes are available every day after 12 p.m.
The program reservation system requires you to enter your Library card number and personal identification number (PIN), then choose a specific date and print the museum pass. To read more details and reserve a museum pass, visit www.spl.org/MuseumPass.
The Museum Pass program is sponsored by The Seattle Public Library Foundation.
DISCOVER PASS
Separate from the Museum Pass, the Library also loans the Discover Pass, which you can learn about on our Outdoor Recreation page. The Discover Pass provides access to more than 100 state parks, more than 350 primitive recreation sites, nearly 700 water-access points and nearly 2,000 miles of designated water and land recreation trails. Library patrons can use their Library card to reserve a Discover Pass in the online catalog, as they would a book or other physical material. The checkout period for a Discover Pass is two weeks.
