A few things to know.
Plan your outing with confidence.
Does one pass cover my whole family?
No. Passes are purchased per person. Each family member using an offer needs their own valid pass, and each participating passholder should be selected during check-in.
How long does my pass last?
Each pass is valid for 12 months. Individual venue offers may have their own redemption limits, such as once per year, monthly, or another frequency.
Is every attraction free?
No. The Explore Pass includes a mix of free and discounted offers. Check the individual venue listing to see what is included and any applicable restrictions.
Can I visit the same attraction more than once?
It depends on that venue’s offer. Some benefits can be used more frequently than others. Your account and the venue’s offer details show the applicable redemption frequency.
Do I need to download an app or mobile wallet pass?
No mobile wallet pass is needed. The Explore Pass uses a browser-based online account for browsing offers and checking in.
What if the offer requires advance booking or a code?
Follow the specific instructions in the venue offer. Some attractions may use a reservation process, a one-time promo code, or other steps instead of the usual front-desk check-in.
What if I need help?
Contact our team at info@theexplorepass.com. Include the venue name and a brief description of the issue so we can help.
