Mesa Library Culture Pass (also available through Tempe and Chandler Libraries) gives families two free tickets to participating local cultural institutions. Each household can check out one pass at a time (maximum of two a month), giving families free outings year-round.
Keep reading for details on how it works, and how you can plan a free fun outing with your family.
The local libraries continue to grow their offerings for families, making the library so much more than books. These culture passes are available at the local library branches, we have personally used them through the Mesa Public Library (Chandler and Tempe also offer them).

How do the Culture Passes work at the library?
Culture Passes are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 10:00am. If you’re hoping for a specific pass, users can see what Culture Passes are available at the moment in the library catalog.
You do need a library card to check the culture pass out, but those are easy to obtain and they even have an ecard option you can do at home.
Just show up at your library, they’ll either have them at the front desk or near the front desk. Look for the large Mesa Library Culture Pass display (usually red and white). You choose where you want to go that’s available and check them out. Done.
Then you and your kid/s can go anytime within the 7 day expiration period.
Want to try out another spot? Your allowed to “borrow” the culture passes twice a month.

How many Culture Passes can a family get?
Each Culture Pass covers 2 people’s ticket cost so for a family with two kids would usually only have to pay for one kid. Reasonable and a lot of fun!
