2025 Adventure Passes

Did you know that you can check out Attraction Passes (aka Experience Passes) at Southeast Wisconsin libraries? These passes often grant free or discounted admission to museums, botanical gardens, and other cultural and recreational sites. What an awesome opportunity for homeschool families to foster a love for learning and local exploration!

At the time of this post, the following attraction passes were available within the four main library catalogs in Southeast Wisconsin. Some passes are available to hold but most are on a first-come first-served basis. If you’re expecting to pick up a pass outside of your hometown library, it wouldn’t hurt to call ahead to ensure that your card will be accepted at the reciprocal library (even if it’s in the same catalog).

Keep in mind that attraction passes are in high demand, but if you have weekday flexibility it might be just the ticket for your family (pun intended)! If all else fails, skim this list for field trip inspiration. You might stumble upon an experience that you didn’t even know was an option.

Enjoy!
