Kent District Library Card

With a Kent District Library card, people who are 18 years old or older are able to receive free one-time admission to popular Grand Rapids attractions.

Plus, the pass is good for up to 6 people, depending on the location you choose.

MLive spoke with the director of engagement at Kent District Library, Randall Goble, about why they launched these passes in 2021.

"We realize there are a lot of families in the community whose income does not always allow them to enjoy a lot of the cultural activities, whether they're exhibits, music, or just a place for the kids to play. It's just a welcome exposure to culture for people who might not otherwise afford it."
