Iowa Adventure Pass - FREE with Adult Library Card

knowLibrary financially supports Guthrie Center residents with a library card. Have you been utilizing your Iowa Adventure Pass? As many of you are aware, the Friends of the Guthrie Center Library financially supports the Iowa Adventure Pass, allowing patrons with a Guthrie Center address to use their library cards to get Iowa Adventure Passes for four great venues.

VENUE: Museum of Danish America, in Elk Horn. This pass can be reserved once per day per library and allows admission for up to 4 individuals.

VENUE: Des Moines Performing Arts. See our website for more details on dates the pass is available to reserve and performance dates. ​
