Can I use my Omaha Children’s Museum Family Membership to get reciprocal discounted admission to Lincoln Children’s Museum?
play_circle_filled

Different memberships provide different discounts. However, Family and Grandparent Memberships do NOT provide reciprocal discounted admission to Lincoln Children's Museum. Family and Grandparent Memberships provide reciprocal discounted admission to science centers that belong to the Association of Science and Technology Centers, or ASTC. Lincoln Children's Museum is not part of ASTC.

Patron, Contributor, Benefactor, and Gift of Play Memberships DO provide reciprocal discounted admission to Lincoln Children's Museum. These Memberships are just like Family Memberships with the same benefits, but they also include an additional cardholder and discounted admission to children’s museums through the ACM Reciprocal Network.

Can I transfer my membership to another family?

No. Omaha Children's Museum memberships are non-transferable and non-refundable.
