Ticket to Discovery
Baltimore-area students in fifth grade or younger with a Pratt Library card can earn free admission to Port Discovery Children's Museum by joining the Ticket to Discovery book club, a reading program in partnership with Port Discovery Children's Museum.
Discover new worlds, passions, and dreams through books and earn free admission to Port Discovery for a child and three additional guests.
During the month of May, Baltimore City children in fifth grade and younger can visit any Pratt location and show their library card to get a Ticket to Discovery bookmark, while supplies last.
