Looking for a way to keep your family busy without constantly spending money? If you’ve heard of the Pogo Pass before, there’s a big update for 2026 — it’s now called GetOut.
While the name has changed, the concept families love is still the same: one pass, tons of local attractions, and a full year of fun.
What is the GetOut Pass?
The GetOut Pass (formerly Pogo Pass) is a membership that gives you access to a variety of family-friendly attractions for one flat price. Once you activate your pass, it’s valid for 12 months — so you can spread out your visits and use it whenever it works for your schedule.
Instead of paying admission at each location, you simply pull up your pass on your phone and check in when you arrive.
Participating Attractions
One of the biggest perks of the GetOut Pass is the variety. The Ohio pass includes dozens of attractions (51+ and growing), making it easy to plan outings all year long.
Here are some of the attractions you may find included:

Each attraction typically allows one visit per year, making it easy to build a full year of outings without paying at each stop.
How to Get Your GetOut Pass
Getting your GetOut Pass (formerly Pogo Pass) is pretty straightforward and only takes a few minutes.
Here’s how it works:
- Head to the official GetOut website
- Choose your pass level (Gold, Silver, or Bronze)
- Complete your purchase
- Download the GetOut app
- Activate your pass when you’re ready to start using it
Once activated, your pass is valid for 12 months, so you don’t have to rush to use it right away.
Each person in your family will have their own digital pass, which you can easily access from your phone when you arrive at an attraction.
What’s New (Besides the Name)?
The shift from Pogo Pass to GetOut comes with a few upgrades:
- More attractions added through the GetOut network
- Expanded access beyond just one local market
- Tiered membership options (so you can choose what fits your family best)
- Improved mobile experience for easier use
Is It Worth It?
If you’re a family that likes to get out and explore, this pass can pay for itself quickly.
Just a couple of visits — like a zoo trip or indoor play spot — can match or exceed the cost of the pass. Everything after that feels like a bonus.
It’s also a great option for:
- Filling weekends without overspending
- Planning school break activities
- Having a go-to list of places when the kids say “I’m bored”
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Pass

Keep the app handy so it’s easy to use on the go
