We have many passes to local zoos, museums and other attractions that can be borrowed for up to three days or same day print and go. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during weekends and vacation periods, and can be made using the MuseumKey website found here: https://www2.museumkey.com/ui/?code=delapa19063&branchID=591
If the pass you’re looking for is not available at our library you can check here to see if it’s available at another location.
We advise you to visit the venue’s website before reserving to verify hours of operation or any other special information. Please take note if the zoo/museum is listed as closed during the time you’ve reserved it. Many venues will not allow library passes during special events.
There is no charge to borrow a museum pass, thanks to generous sponsorships by local businesses.
Physical Passes must be returned to the Ridley Township Public Library. Passes returned past the due date will incur a late charge of $3 per day.
