Museum Passes

NOTE: Due to COVID-19, Many Museums are currently not accepting discount passes.

Other museums are closed altogether, or operate by appointment only.

We encourage you to contact the museum you plan to visit before reserving a library pass. 

Below you will find  links to many of the exciting Museums, Zoos, and Aquariums you can visit for free or at a discount, courtesy of your local libraries. To reserve a pass for a specific date, please call the library you’d like to borrow the pass from: Rathbun: 860-873-8210 | EHFPL: 860-873-8248   

Most Passes have a two-day checkout period. The pass provides you with free or reduced price admissions. The pass must be returned to the library it was checked out from. During school vacations and other peak periods, the pass you’ve borrowed has often been requested by one of your friends or neighbors for the very next day. Please be courteous and return passes on time – you may leave the pass in the library book drop if you cannot return it during our operating hours.
