How often can I visit the museum?
As a member you will receive free unlimited admission during the Museum's operating hours for the entire duration of your membership.
Is my membership tax deductible?
A portion of your membership is tax-deductible; please consult your tax consultant to determine the amount permitted by law. Many companies will make a matching gift to the Children’s Museum when one of their employees makes a tax-deductible donation. Please ask your Human Resources department about your donation to LICM.
How long does an LICM membership last?
You may purchase a one- or two-year Membership to LICM. The Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday most of the year, with additional bonus Mondays during some school holidays, and seven days a week throughout July and August. The Museum is closed annually for our two-week Fall Fix-Up in September, our Fundraiser, and some federal holidays including Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
All Plus-level Members can bring one free guest. Additional guests accompanying you will receive a $3 discount off museum admission, which will be charged at entry.
What if I want to switch one of the members?
You can change the name of a designated member on your membership; a $10 processing fee will be charged. You will be emailed a digital membership card identifying the current names on the membership.
