A few tips

  • You must have a library card with Seattle Public Library.  If you don't have one yet, head down to your local library and get one for free!  The Ballard, Greeenwood, Green Lake, Broadview, and Fremont libraries can all help you! 
  • New museum passes become available every day at 9:00 pm.  Go to the museum passes registration page right at 9:00 pm to get tickets for two weeks in the future.  
  • Each museum has different requirements, limitations, and other information so be sure to read each description carefully before you reserve your pass. 
  • You can reserve one pass to the same museum once every 30 days.
  • If you need help with free museum passes, contact your local library.
