Explore holiday attractions and win prizes with Holiday Adventure Pass

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Holiday Adventure Pass, a free initiative by Visit Indy and Visit Hamilton County, returns for its second year, offering residents and visitors a guide to holiday attractions across Marion and Hamilton counties until Dec. 31, 2025.

The pass allows users to earn points by checking in at participating locations, which can be redeemed for holiday-themed prizes. Some holiday attractions have already opened, providing a festive experience for families and friends.

“The Holiday Adventure Pass is a fun, easy way for residents and visitors to make memories while exploring attractions across both counties,” Chris Gahl, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Visit Indy, said in a releas.e

Participants can check in via a QR code at various locations, including the Athenaeum Christkindlmarkt, Carmel Christkindlmarkt, and the Children’s Museum: WinterFaire, among others.

By visiting three adventure pass attractions, users can pick one of three prizes, including a T-shirt from The Shop, a candle from Penn & Beech Candle Co., and an Indiana-themed ornament from Silver in the City. Prizes are available for the first 300 users who redeem points.

By visiting five attractions, users are entered to win a grand prize, which includes a weekend getaway to central Indiana.

Some venues are ticketed attractions, and the Holiday Adventure Pass does not cover entry fees, requiring guests to purchase tickets separately.
