Membership FAQ
How do I get my new Membership cards?
As soon as you purchase your Membership, you’ll receive a digital Membership card by email. If you order by phone, in person or online, you’ll receive an email with the digital card. You can also request a digital Membership card when you login to your Membership account online. The instructions are in the link below.
Who may visit on my Membership?
Each Member adult must present their ID and Membership card upon entry to each attraction. Family Membership is intended for two named adults and their children/grandchildren ages 17 and younger. Names on the Membership cannot be changed during your current Membership cycle and Memberships cannot be transferred or refunded. Memberships will not be issued to anyone under the age of 18.
I want to bring a different guest each time I visit. How do I do that?
The MFA Family Membership doesn’t allow you to bring an unnamed guest during each visit. However, as a Member at this level, then you can bring unnamed guests by taking advantage of your two free tickets for museum admission. You can also stop at Member Services to receive a discounted admission ticket.
How do I use my digital Membership card for my free Museum Admission and discounts?
Just present an ID upon entrance to the Museums or when purchasing your discounted featured exhibit tickets. The name on the Membership must match the name on the ID, unless a caregiver is bringing the Member children with a Family Premium Membership. Names on the Membership cannot be changed during your current Membership cycle and memberships cannot be transferred.
How do I redeem my free guest Museum Admission tickets benefit?
You can see your guest pass codes when you login to the Member Portal or on your digital Membership card. Easily redeem these guest pass codes online for free tickets for museum admission. The codes can also be redeemed in person or over the phone.
When do my free guest Museum Admission tickets expire?
When your membership expires, then any loaded benefits also expire. The tickets will not carry over when you renew the membership.
How do I get my discounts on shopping, food and other tickets, like featured exhibits?
Just show your digital Membership card at the point of purchase and we will validate it so you can receive your discounts. Please use the code 1301 at the kiosks for a 10% discount on food.
Can I use my Membership during a school field trip?
Memberships exclude school field trips and any other organized group visits. Memberships are not for companies, organizations or other groups. Please contact Group Sales at (513) 287-7021 for information about group visits.
My card is missing. Can I get a replacement?
You can access a digital version of your Membership card when you login to the Member Portal or login to your Membership account online.
Member Access Instructions
How long is my Member Pass valid?
Your Membership is valid for one year. Memberships expire at the end of the month in which you purchased your Membership. If you renew before the month of your current expiration date, then your 12 months of Membership will be added to your current expiration date.
How can my caregiver bring my children without me?
Another adult may bring your Member children on your Membership. However, if the other adult is not a Member, then he or she will have to pay admission at Member Services. Children who are 12 years old or younger must be accompanied by a caregiver who is at least 18 years old.
Do I receive a discount on admission tickets purchased for guests?
Yes! There is a $1 discount on a Museum Admission ticket. Members must accompany their guest during the visit. Make sure to show your digital Membership card at Member Services when you make your purchase so your discount can be validated.
