FAQs:

Picking up the Colorado Parks & Wildlife physical pass:
It is required that you have the reservation confirmation to pick up a physical pass. If you entered a valid email address, a copy of the confirmation was emailed to you. If you do not have the ability to print, you can save your confirmation on your mobile device and use that as proof of reservation to pick up the physical pass.

How to print downloadable passes:
If you did not receive an email confirmation with the pass or lost the email, you can retrieve your reservations through the booking site with your library card number. To view your reservations, go to the library reservation system site, click “My Account” in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and enter in your library card number. 

Canceling and re-reserving a pass:
Patrons can cancel an Experience Pass reservation by calling the Library at 720.887.2350 or 720.887.2301. If the reservation is timed entry, please also call the institution to cancel your reservation. Reservations can be canceled before or on the day of the reservation, except for the Colorado Parks & Wildlife pass. The Colorado Parks & Wildlife pass must be canceled ahead of the reservation date.
