The pass will entitle you to free admission for up to five (5) people (maximum of two adults) for a Parkwood Tour Experience.
What are the hours?
Tour hours are posted here.

What about overdue fines?
The fines for overdue passes are $1 per day.
What if I lose the pass?
Please notify the Borrower Services Department at your branch right away.  The replacement cost is $20.
