Membership Policies

  • To ensure smooth admission, members must present a digital membership card, while adults are required to show a photo ID along with their membership card.
  • Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, and free admission does not apply to school groups, classes, or fee-based events.
  • While our membership cards are now digital, printed cards are available for $10.
  • Memberships are non-refundable and nontransferable.

Membership Reciprocal Information:

All Great Explorations memberships include amazing local monthly reciprocities with partner museums, attractions, and community organizations. These local benefits are available at every membership tier.

Members at the Great, Explorer, and Morris levels also unlock national reciprocal programs, giving you even more value when you travel. These levels receive access to the ACM Reciprocal Network, the ASTC Travel Passport Program, and the NARM Association.

Great, Explorer, and Morris Members enjoy:
• ACM Reciprocal Network offering 50 percent off admission for up to six people at more than 140 participating children’s museums across the United States and Canada. For details, visit ChildrensMuseums.org. Admission to the Glazer Children’s Museum is 50 percent off through ACM, and every September all Great Explorations members enjoy free admission to GCM through our monthly local partnership.
• ASTC Travel Passport Program offering free admission to over 350 participating science centers and museums outside a 90 mile radius of Tampa. Visit ASTC.org/passport for full guidelines and participating locations.
• NARM Association offering free or reduced admission to a large network of art museums, cultural centers, and historical institutions nationwide. Visit narmassociation.org for the most up to date list of participating locations.

Please bring your membership card and photo ID with you, as participating attractions may request verification. Policies, participating institutions, and reciprocity guidelines can change at any time, so it’s always a good idea to check with the destination before you visit.

If you are still unsure if a museum you would like to visit is a participant in either program, please contact that museum directly.

  • Check for exclusions. Make sure the science center or museum you are visiting is not located within 90 miles of either your home residence or the science center or museum that you belong to. This distance is measured as a linear radius, not driving distance.
  • Review the family admittance policy of the venue that you intend to visit. Call before you visit to confirm your Passport Program benefits.
  • Pack your ID (or other proof of residence). Admissions staff reserve the right to request proof of residence for benefits to apply.
  1. Pack your membership card. Passport Program venues are not required to grant benefits to visitors who forget their cards. There is no universal database with all Passport visitors’ member data for admission staff to reference.
  2. Can’t find your Membership Card? Please contact memberships@greatex.org or your home science center or museum.
