School is out, but that doesn't mean LOU kids — or young adults — need to stop learning.

Starting this Saturday, May 30 through Sunday, Aug. 9, Louisvillians up to 21 years old can use the 2026 Cultural Pass to get free access to over 50 museums, parks, theaters, and more. Here's the run down:

Register for a pass at your local library, or use the new Cultural Pass app.
Passes are available to cardholders with the Louisville Free Public Library or Bullitt County library in Kentucky + the Charlestown-Clark County, Floyd County, Harrison County, or Jeffersonville Township libraries in Indiana. Note: You still need a valid library card even if you plan to use the app.
A pass is good for free, one-time admission to each participating venue.
Pass holders under the age of 17 also get one accompanying adult in for free on each visit.
Keep in mind — special-ticketed experiences, like the carousel at the Louisville Zoo or movies at the Kentucky Science Center, aren’t included.

This year, there are also select offerings for seniors aged 65+ as part of the Cultural Pass program. Senior events do not require a pass or the app, simply show up ready for some fun.
