The pass is provided by the Museums in the Park Organization to Senator Bennett's office. Only one group of up to four people can reserve the pass at a time. It must be reserved in advance and picked up and returned to the district office promptly. Constituents need to fill out an online form and call the district office before visiting any museums.

Families using the card are advised to contact each museum they plan to visit to check if pre-registration is required.
