More exploring.
More memories.
Less spending.
We believe unforgettable family moments should be easier to experience, not harder to afford. That’s why we created The Explore Pass.
Explore Our Attractions →Built by a Minnesota dad. Made for Minnesota families.
As a Minnesota native and father of six, I know how quickly the cost of family outings can add up. Finding something fun for everyone is one thing. Finding something that fits the budget is another.
I started The Explore Pass in 2025 with a simple idea: help families spend less on activities so they can spend more time making memories together.
What began as an idea to make local adventures more accessible has grown into a community of families discovering new favorites across the Twin Cities.
“Family adventures shouldn’t have to be special-occasion expenses.“
Founder, The Explore Pass
Big adventures. Simple purpose.
We want families to have more opportunities to explore, play, learn, and spend meaningful time together, without the cost of every outing becoming a barrier.
Family comes first
We believe the time families spend together is worth investing in.
Fun should be affordable
Free and discounted offers make it easier to say yes to another adventure.
