FREE! FREE!! [did I mention FREE] Passes to MN Museums

I was at the library with E yesterday and discovered the COOLEST promotion! If you have not heard of The Museum Adventure Pass, let me quick tell you all about it before the it ends (September 7, 2011).

The Museum Adventure Pass, presented by Macy's, allows you to use your library card to check out passes to various museums throughout the Twin Cities. What does this mean exactly? When you check out a pass, it admits TWO FREE people to participating destinations!

Using your public library card, you can check out a pass for the following destinations:

The American Swedish Institute
The Bakken Museum
Bell Museum of Natural History
Como Park & Conservatory
Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden & Bird Sanctuary
Firefighters Hall & Museum
Foshay Museum and Observation Deck
Hennepin History Museum
The Landing- Minnesota River Heritage Park
Minneapolis Institute of Arts
Minnesota History Center
Minnesota Streetcar Museum
Minnesota Zoo
The Museum of Russian Art
Walker Art Center
The Works: Hands-On, Minds-On Museum

HOW IT WORKS: Go to your public library [Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington & St. Paul Public, all participants] and find the Museum Adventure Pass kiosk. Choose the museum that you would like to visit (note: passes are available on first come, first serve basis and one pass per family). Once you have chosen the pass, bring the card to the Librarian who will validate the card and give you a "due date" slip. One pass is valid for seven days from the date of check-out.
