How culture passes work in Phoenix

A library culture passe is a reusable ticket the library buys and lends to its cardholders. You reserve it with your library-card number — most Phoenix-area libraries use an online reservation calendar — then pick it up or print it and show it at the venue for free or reduced admission. Passes are limited and popular venues book up on weekends, so reserve ahead.

In Arizona the library museum pass is called the Culture Pass: you reserve it with your library card for free admission to participating museums and cultural sites across the Valley. Venues rotate, so check your library’s Culture Pass list for what’s available now.

Do I need a Phoenix library card?

You need a card from the library whose pass you’re reserving. Libraries issue cards to people who live, work or study in their service area, and many honor neighboring libraries’ cards — but each library sets its own pass eligibility, so confirm with the branch.

Are the culture passes really free?

Yes — the library buys the pass and lends it at no charge, and it gets you free or reduced admission at the venue. You only pay for extras the venue sells separately, such as special exhibits.
