Do you have a library card for the Columbus Metropolitan Library? If so, did you know your card offers free admission to select central Ohio institutions? This program is called Culture Pass. The Culture Pass started as a piloted program in 2018 offering Culture Passes to a few organizations to explore culture in Columbus. They have since added to the list and have recently expanded to Newark, Ohio.

We are excited to announce that The Dawes Arboretum is now an available institution! Here, you can find more information on what the Culture Pass entails: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/culture-pass/

How do the passes work? Your library card will allow you to check out one time pass just as you would check out a book. The one-time pass must be checked out in person at the Columbus Metropolitan Library locations and is non reservable.

What does a Culture Pass to The Arboretum include?

  • Pass admits up to six individuals of any age.
  • Valid for two weeks.
  • Valid for general admission; excludes registered programs and events.
  • Cannot be used for entry during member-only hour from 8-9 a.m.

We are thrilled for this opportunity to partner with the Columbus Metropolitan Library! If you have any questions regarding the Culture Pass, please email information@dawesarb.org.
