Museum & Park Passes

Reserve a museum or park pass by visiting our Pass Portal HERE.


The library offers a number of museum passes for cardholders to borrow. Some passes allow for free admission, while other passes admit the cardholder with a reduced admission fee. Please note that there is typically only one pass available for each museum per day. Make your reservations in advance!

Reservations

Museum passes can be reserved up to 60 days in advance and can be picked up at the library up to two weeks prior to their date of use. Passes can be reserved over by phone (603-424-5021 [ext 1101 or 1102]) or online.

    • *Canceling a Reservation* - If you cannot use the pass you have reserved, please use the cancellation link provided in your booking confirmation email or call the library at 603-424-5021 (ext 1101 or 1102) to cancel your reservation.
    • Special exhibits may or may not be included in the free or discounted pass.



  • While we try to provide the most accurate and updated pricing information, the library is not responsible for changes to admission rates, pass discounts, or hours of operation. We urge our patrons to check individual museum websites to get hours, directions, and other information.

Checking Out & Returning Passes

Patrons must visit the library and present their valid library card or ID to check out a museum pass.

Some passes are sent in the confirmation email. These passes can be printed at home or saved to your phone and do not need to be picked up or returned.

Laminated “card” passes should be returned to the library by 9:00am on the day following their use. These passes may not be returned to the South Fire Station book drop.


Overdue Fines & Restrictions

Patrons are restricted to 1 active reservation for each museum, with a maximum of 2 per date. This means you may reserve passes for a maximum of 2 different museums for the same date.

Due to higher demand during school vacation weeks in December/January, February, and April/May, only 1 museum pass may be booked per week. Please note that passes are often booked in advance for these weeks. Make your plans (and reservations) early!
