In collaboration with several area public libraries, Monster Jam is getting kids revved up about reading.
The partners are offering a program that gives young readers the chance to earn a free ticket to the upcoming Monster Jam Freestyle Mania, with the purchase of an adult ticket.
To take part in the program, visit a participating library for a Monster Jam Reward Club card with program details. When the child has read at least five books, a parent or guardian can redeem the card at the Schottenstein Center (555 Borror Drive) box office.
Libraries participating in the Monster Jam reading program are:
The Monster Jam Reward Club card is only redeemable for the Monster Jam events at 7 p.m. April 10 and 6 p.m. April 11. There will be additional shows at noon on April 11-12.
All guests ages 2 and older must have tickets, which can be purchased here:
Monster Jam – April 10
Monster Jam – April 11
Monster Jam – April 12
Monster Jam Freestyle Mania will introduce its one-of-a-kind freestyle motocross (FMX) bikes, each designed to resemble fan-favorite trucks such as Grave Digger, Sparkle Smash and others.
About an hour before each event, Monster Jam Trackside will offer competition previews, driver interviews, behind the scenes with the pit crew, giveaways, and opening ceremonies.
