Save on Family Fun with a Michigan Activity Pass
Looking for a great way to drum up some new adventure ideas and save some money while you’re at it? Check out the Michigan Activity Pass. Available through your local library, the MAP offers free passes, admission discounts, and/or shopping discounts on over 100 Michigan museums, recreation areas, and other cultural institutions! This is great for residents with or without kids and also benefits your local library without any extra cost. The program is sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan, The Library Network, and The Michigan Department of Natural Resources with the goal of promoting Michigan’s amazing natural and cultural assets.
Getting a pass is easy and the only requirement is a local library card. To get started, go to the Michigan Activity Pass website and enter your location or library name and select a distance range for the list of available passes. Once your information is entered, the website will bring up a list of parks and institutions including a map and website links to each place. Select Get A Pass to see how many passes are available and for what days. It will also give you the details of the discount, such as free/discounted admission, etc. When you’re ready, fill in your information and library card number and print off the pass. You will have 7 days to use it. It’s that easy!
I was just looking this up in the beginning of the summer. Our libraries in Michigan rock! We’ve lived here for almost 6 years now and we are still finding fun new places to visit. Can’t wait to read more of your blog!
I shared something few months ago about Michigan activity pass. Such an amazing program if you would love to travel around the state.
Thanks for sharing this! I’ll definitely be checking this out. 🙂
I’m going to check that out. I need to live up the last bit of summer before the kids go back to school!
This is such a great program. Our state’s public libraries are great, and I love that they offer this program to get folks exploring the many attractions in Michigan.
I had never heard of the Michigan Activity Pass program. thank you so much for sharing. I’m going to check it out now.
I haven’t used this yet, but I’m glad it’s available when I’d like to! Looking forward to hearing about more travel adventures!
I absolutely adore this program, and the fact they added so many parks this year. I used it at Tahquamenon in the UP a few months back and have used it several times with kids. It’s easy to travel when you can find ways to save money 🙂 P.S. Great blog – look forward to following along!
OMG, I lived in Michigan pretty much my entire life and never knew there was an activity pass you could get. Too bad they don’t offer this to out-of-staters when they come and visit, like many other states have. It would be a great way to boost Michigan’s economy.
