The Dorset Max card is for eligible children and young people, who are residents of the Dorset Council area. It entitles your child and one other person (such as you or a friend) to free or discounted access or benefits at a range of:
- leisure activities
- activity venues
- shops and cafes
- country parks
- museums and galleries
- organisations
Your Dorset Max card can be used by your child on their own, or with you or a friend or carer to get free or reduced entry (or other forms of discount) at lots of places. Some venues are outside Dorset.
