Pikes Peak Culture Pass gives cardholders passes to local institutions
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. – Seven area organizations are now accessible for free with a Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) card.
Starting in March, PPLD cardholders will have access to the Pikes Peak Culture Pass. Anyone 12-years-old and up with a valid library card can access seven different museums and attractions in El Paso County.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with so many exciting organizations in our community to make culture and recreation more accessible in the Pikes Peak region,” said Elyse Jones, Community Partnership Coordinator for PPLD. “This takes the opportunities presented by a library card well beyond our collection and right out into our community.”
Participating organizations include the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College, U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center, ProRodeo Hall of Fame, Space Foundation Discovery Center, The Money Museum, Rock Ledge Ranch Historical Site, and the Western Museum of Mining and Industry.
These free admission passes are available for check out, similar to how you check out an eBook or other electronic resource. Starting Monday, March 2, patrons can log in to the online reservation page and book a pass up to 30 days in advance. Patrons can then print their confirmation, which will serve as their ticket, directly from home or at any Library location.
“This is right in line with our mission, and something we’re so excited to bring to the region,” Jones said. “The Pikes Peak Culture Pass increases opportunities for education and cultural learning, creating a valuable connection between our in-house collection and hands-on experiences.”
Each location admits a different number of people with the Pikes Peak Culture Pass. Details are listed on each pass at the time of reservation. Learn more and get started at ppld.org/culturepass.
