Family Museum Passes
If you are looking for fun and educational activities, Spokane County Library District has your ticket to fantastic destinations nearby: Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture and Mobius Discovery Center.
The Family Museum Pass is a great opportunity to visit these excellent cultural and educational centers in our community.
Museum Family Passes are available only to Spokane County Library District residents in unincorporated Spokane County and the affiliated cities and towns of Cheney, Deer Park, Fairfield, Latah, Medical Lake, Millwood, Rockford, Spangle, Spokane Valley, Waverly, and Airway Heights. Residents of Liberty Lake and the city of Spokane are not in-district for this program.
The Family Museum Pass program is generously funded by the Diane E. Zahand Fund. To support this fund, you can learn more at the Library Foundation of Spokane County website.
Reserving a Family Museum Pass
You can Reserve a Pass online up to 30 days in advance and print your confirmation to gain entry to a partner museum on a specific day. This means that the pass will provide entry only on the day you select.
Each Family Museum Pass provides admission for up to 2 adults and 4 children.
The person reserving the pass must be the person using the pass. Please be sure to present the pass and matching photo ID to gain admission.
Each museum and cultural institution can be booked once every 30 days per household.
To reserve a museum pass, you must have a permanent Spokane County Library District library card in good standing. Residents of Liberty Lake and the city of Spokane are not in-district for this program.
Passes currently available:
Note: Each night at 12am, the Reserve a Pass system updates to include any museum passes that are available for 30 days in the future.
Using a Museum Pass
When you arrive at the museum, you will need to present your printed museum pass, along with photo ID that matches the name on the pass.

Check Out Washington – Discover Pass Backpacks
The Check Out Washington backpack is part of our Library of Things collection and includes binoculars, field guides, other interpretive materials, and a special Discover Pass for parking at Washington State Parks.
In partnership with Check Out Washington, this program is funded in part by the Washington State Parks Foundation.
You can place a hold on the Check Out Washington backpack in our catalog. The checkout period for the backpack is 28 days.
We hope that providing these passes will help increase awareness and access to state lands, especially for those who might not otherwise be able to obtain a Discover Pass.
The specially designed Library Discover Pass for the Check Out Washington program does not require a specific license plate number to use the pass. This means that library customers can use any vehicle, including rental vehicles, to park and access state parks and trailheads with this day-use Library Discover Pass.
Spokane Symphony Passes
Orchestral music nurtures the human spirit, enhances the quality of life, and is integral to the preservation and development of culture. Spokane Symphony provides high quality, professional orchestral performances and education to Inland Northwest residents for the purpose of enriching and transforming lives through music.
Each Spokane Symphony Pass is available to reserve 30 days prior to the performance on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers are limited to four Spokane Symphony Passes per calendar year.
NOTE: One pass is equal to one Symphony ticket. Reserve the number of passes equal to the number of tickets (up to four) that you need.
The Library Foundation of Spokane County has generously sponsored the 2024–25 Spokane Symphony Pass program, and the Spokane Symphony has generously provided an in-kind match of tickets. Learn more about the Library Foundation at supportscld.org.
