Free Vancouver Attractions with a Library Card

The Vancouver Aquarium, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and VanDusen Botanical Garden are among the 18 attractions and activities now available for free with a city library card. Newly launched, the Vancouver Inspiration Pass gives free admission to varied cultural attractions during the two-week "loan period".

This is an amazing deal for local travelers, but the catch is the wait time.

I just added my name to the hold list for the 120 available passes. By my calculations, I should expect to test-drive the pass in about two years! And if you're not a local, you can always check out public artworks, major festivals, and Vancouver's top cultural attractions.
