Museum Passes at the Library




FREE MUSEUM PASSES AT THE LIBRARY

The Miami-Dade County libraries are offering a pass this year, which will get you and your family into the museums below, for FREE!

They are often rented out, but it’s worth a shot if you are in a library!

The FREE passes last one week, and cover 2 adults and their children. The museums included are: Miami Science Museum/Planetarium, Metro Zoo, Miami Art Museum/Flagler, Miami Children’s Museum/Miami Beach. Most of these museums cost about $16 or more per person, and annual memberships are about $80. So this is worth it! If you like a particular location a lot, look into the annual passes. The zoo, for example, offers a lot of events throughout the year (Halloween Trick or Treating, Easter Egg Hunt, slides in the summer/water events). These events are all included for members with annual passes-no additional fees. If you join for yourself and kids, it’s about $100 for the year. Your spouse or one guest can come for free.

The other theme parks cost about $30 per person, and only offer a 15% discount for your spouse. So if you and your 2 Parrot Jungle, the Seaquarium, Miami Science Museum, it will cost about $30 per child, and $40 per adult. Your spouse is not included in the pass (has to pay separately).  If your spouse wants to come to an event one day, he  pays about $28 for  that day! I think the zoo stretches your dollar the most!
