Why Join Explore More Illinois?
Through Explore More Illinois, partner organizations will be able to offer a limited number of admission passes or discounts to cardholders of participating libraries. Cardholders will search or browse the Explore More Illinois listings to view information about the cultural attractions and to reserve a pass or discount coupon for a specified day. The Explore More Illinois website will then generate a unique pass or coupon for each request.
Any cultural or government organization in Illinois - museum, cultural center, botanic garden, aquarium, zoo, historical society, park district, etc.. - is invited to become an Explore More Illinois partner.
