Adventure Pass temporarily shut down in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Iowa Adventure Pass program will temporarily shut down 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 still make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. The service will return at a later time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Des Moines is home to some amazing artwork, and staying socially distant doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy what the city has to offer! Use this challenge to find your way to some incredible murals in your neighborhood and around Des Moines. Head to each location and snap a selfie and check out each badge for more information about each piece! Share your pics online using the hashtag #DMPLMuralTour
 

How do I find the murals?

Sign up here and create your account and track your progress in the free Beanstack App. Head to the address listed for each badge. You can also plot your route with the help of this map. Whether you walk, drive, bike, or DART you’re sure to find some of these pieces not too far from home.
