Adventure Pass Ending in 2025

Due to circumstances outside of our control, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass service will no longer be available in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. We hope to reintroduce the service at a later time, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Event Details

Come play in the sand at South Side! We'll turn our kiddie pool into a sandbox, with all the right sand toys to make an awesome sand castle or any other creation you can imagine! And what's sand without a little water? We'll bust out our water table, too, for some extra fun! Bring clothes you don't mind having a little messy fun in!
