Urbandale Public Library/Adventure Pass

NOTICE: Due to software issues with the company used to make reservations, the Iowa Libraries Adventure Pass will be put on pause after December 31, 2024. That will be the last day you can make and use an Adventure Pass.

We know you all love the Adventure Pass, and we are working on finding a new reservation program and will get it started as soon as we can. This will affect all libraries that participate in the Adventure Pass program.

Reserve free passes to local area attractions! Adult Urbandale residents* can book a pass with their library card to enjoy an educational day of family fun at the Blank Park Zoo, the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden, the Brenton Skating Plaza (during skating season, weather permitting), Reiman Gardens, the Science Center of Iowa, and the Des Moines Children’s Museum.

Cardholders must present a valid photo ID and printed pass (email on phone not accepted) before admission into the venue is allowed.

*Please note:  Access to this service from the Urbandale Public Library is available to Urbandale residents only. Several metro area libraries are also part of the Iowa Adventure Pass, so please check with your local library to see if this service is available in your community.

Access to this service is made possible by a gift from the Urbandale Public Library Foundation.
