Check out an Adventure Pass!

Thanks to Boone Bank for sponsoring this new program that allows library patrons to use their library cards to visit area attractions, museums, and parks for free!

Adventure Passes are currently available for checkout for:

Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden

Reiman Gardens

Science Center of Iowa 

Thanks to the hard work of librarians around the state, we now have a new Adventure Pass ticketing system in place! You can reserve Adventure Passes by visiting www.iowaadventurepass.org. We are thrilled to bring this service back for our patrons. 

Just like before, Adventure Passes through the Ericson Public Library are only available to library card holders who are residents of Boone or Boone County. Each patron is allowed to reserve passes from each of our participating venues once each calendar year (previously it had been once every 365 days). Most passes allow two adults and two children admission to a destination on a particular date, unless otherwise noted. 

How do I make my reservation? 

Library cardholders can visit www.iowaadventurepass.org, select “Find a Pass” on the homepage, choose Ericson Public Library from the drop-down menu, and view available passes. After selecting a destination, users will enter their library card number and PIN to complete the reservation. Passes can be reserved up to 60 days in advance, on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Please note: 

  • Passes are available to adults 18 and older with a Library card in good standing, and may be reserved once per calendar year per venue. 

  • Patrons must present their pass confirmation—either as a printed copy, an email on their device, or through a digital wallet—along with a photo ID that matches the name on the reservation.  

  • Passes may not be used for admission to special events. 

I have another question. Where should I find the answer? 

Most FAQ's can be found on the Adventure Pass site at www.iowaadventurepass.org/faq. We are also happy to answer your questions at the library or via email at ericson@boone.lib.ia.us   or via phone at 515-432-3727
