(When summer hours are in effect all weekend passes must be picked up by 11:00AM on Friday.) If the museum pass is not picked up by 11:00AM, it will be released for use by another family.

IMPORTANT: One pass is allowed per household each day. Two passes are allowed per household in a 7-day window, except during school vacations and Summer when 1 pass is allowed in a 7-day window. One pass in a 10-day window is allowed for the MA Parks Pass.

Please be aware that if more than the allotted number of passes are reserved by any one household in a 7-day window, the first reservation will be retained but all others will be canceled.

Failure to pick-up two or more passes in a 30-day window may result in suspension from requesting museum passes for 30-days.
