ACM Reciprocal Program
Rated by Real Simple Magazine, Nick Jr. Family Magazine and others as one of the best values for families!
ACM Reciprocal Program Resources for Museums are in Members Only.

A family membership with your hometown children's museum that includes ACM Reciprocal Program benefits provides free or discounted admission to almost 200 ACM museums that participate in the ACM Reciprocal Program network. These benefits provide admission for up to four (4) individuals from the same household, unless otherwise specified.

Local restrictions may apply, please call the museum you plan to visit ahead and verify their admission policies for the ACM Reciprocal Program. Make your next family vacation or trip to visit a long-distance relative a little more playful and a little less expensive!

In addition to ACM Reciprocal Program benefits, joining your hometown children's museum may offer many others such as:

  • Unlimited admission for the entire family to the museum all year
  • Invitations to members' events, exhibit openings, and special events
  • Discounts on education programs, activities, and field trips
  • Discounts at the museum store
  • Free or reduced parking
  • Free subscriptions to the museum newsletter and more

Call your local children's museum and become a member today!
