Library pass users receive discounted exhibit admission!
Step inside the famous boy-wizard's magical world through the Boston Museum of Science's Harry Potter: The Exhibition. The exhibit will run from October 25, 2009 through February 21, 2010. This exhibition requires a separate ticket purchase, but library pass users receive reduced pricing: $16 for adults, $14 for seniors, and $13 for children 3-11 years old, with a maximum purchase of four tickets per library pass (this is in addition to the $5.00 cost per person admission to the Exhibit Halls). Regular admission to this exhibit is $26 for adults, $24 for seniors, and $23 for children 3-11 years old - so by using a library pass you are saving significant money! Tickets to the exhibit are based on availability, and must be purchased in-person only at the Museum box office Red Line (and patrons must have their dated library pass in hand at the time of purchase).
