Visit Golisano Children's Museum of Naples
Charlotte County Library cardholders can now receive FREE admission to the Golisano Children's Museum of Naples! Library Access Passes are available through the generosity of the museum's Access for All initiative.
How it works
- Visit any library branch to check out an available CMON Library Access Pass.
- Each pass admits your party of up to four guests, which must include at least 1 child and 1 adult. Additional guests will pay general admission pricing ($20 / person).
- Present the pass at the museum entrance within 7 days of the date stamped at checkout.
- Each library branch is permitted to distribute three passes each week on a first-come, first-served basis. They cannot be placed on hold.
- The pass does not need to be returned to the library after use.
