Visit the museum. Earn points. Win prizes.
NEW Grand Prize! Win a trip for a family of four to New York City!
The Peoria Riverfront Museum Achievement Passport is an innovative rewards program that allows museum guests to earn points as they experience the museum. Accumulating points makes participants eligible for special prizes and museum benefits. All participants must register a new passport for 2025, regardless of previous participation!
The Achievement Passport allows guests to experience the museum in an entirely new way. Museum activities (tours, scavenger hunts, planetarium shows, and more!) have point values assigned; as guests complete the activity, they will receive a stamp in their Achievement Passport. At the end of each month, participants can report their point earnings and be entered to win prizes as a reward for their achievements. In December 2025, the top 10% of point-earners for the year will be entered into a drawing to win the grand prize: a trip for four to New York City with VIP tours at some of our partner museums, including the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)!
Achievement Passports are FREE and available at the museum any time. Achievement Passport participants just need to register their passport with their name, birthdate, and email address when they receive their passport at the museum. New passport users will also receive a free lanyard to store their passport and show off their achievements!
Guests will be able to collect points each time they visit the museum. Upcoming activities and point values are shared in the weekly Achievement Passport email, which is sent to all registered passport participants.
How to Register
All participants must register a new passport for 2025, regardless of previous participation! Passports will be available for new participants at the ticket desk daily and at a passport registration table during Access for All free days. Registration is free, and only requires an email address, name, and birthdate. New registrants will also get a branded lanyard with a booklet holder.
How to Earn Points
Passport points can be accumulated by participating in museum programming. An experience at the museum can be worth anywhere from 10 to 100 points. Here is a sample of museum activities and their point values:
Museum members get a special bonus – double points! When participants report their monthly totals, museum members will get those totals doubled, increasing their chance at prize eligibility.
Access for All free days are monthly opportunities to earn big points! On the second Sunday of each month, the museum will provide multiple activities totaling over 200 available points for the day. The first 250 passport participants who collect 100 points on Access for All day will receive a special prize.
Passport points are available every day the museum is open. Specific experiences will vary day to day. Passport participants are encouraged to check their weekly Achievement Passport email for information on upcoming point-earning opportunities. This email will also give participants access to occasional opportunities to earn points from home for engaging with the museum’s digital content.
Participants will be asked to submit their point totals for the month to be counted. They will get a submission link emailed to them in the weekly Achievement Passport newsletter. They will report their points by uploading a photo of that month’s page in their booklet and manually typing in their point total for the month, as well as identifying if they are a current museum member. A leaderboard and updates will be posted soon after!
