Membership FAQs
Can I get a physical copy of my membership card?
- Physical Membership Cards are not available
Do you offer discounts on membership?
- We offer 10% off Curiosity Level memberships, for members over the age of 65, educators with valid school ID, military and veterans with valid military photo ID, and students with valid university or college ID.
Can someone else use my membership?
- Only members named on the membership can use the membership. Those memberships that include guests do not permit guests to visit without a named member also present with them. Children are unnamed on memberships and cannot visit unless with a named adult member.
Is my membership tax reducible?
- Membership donations above $250 are tax deductible, see our website for more details
Can I apply for my museum tickets to purchase my membership?
- Yes! Guests visiting the museum are welcome to apply for tickets on the same day of their visit in relation to the cost of their membership. The number of tickets that can be applied to the membership is restricted to the number of members covered under each membership level. Guest passes used for admission tickets cannot be applied toward membership purchases.
Do members need to reserve tickets to visit?
- MOSAC asks that members reserve tickets prior to visiting the museum to mitigate crowds and ensure a better experience for both members and general admission visitors.
Can I add someone to my membership?
- Members can only be added during the renewal process or at time of purchase due to system limitations; members are welcome to change the second named member on their membership.
How do I renew my membership?
- Renewals can be done online, over the phone by calling (916) 674-5000x 125, or by visiting in person and going to the guest services desk. Please be sure to log into your online member portal prior to renewing your membership!
