Frequently Asked Questions

More FAQs

I'm planning to visit the Museum for the first time since becoming a member. What do I need to do?

If you are visiting the Museum only and do not plan to purchase tickets for the Infinity Theater, Planetarium or a temporary exhibition, simply show your membership card or eCard to the ticket scanners at the Welcome Gate upon your arrival. You do not need to stop at Ticketing, or a Kiosk, unless you are attending a giant screen film, Planetarium show, or temporary exhibition and wish to purchase tickets at the Member price.

What should I do if I don't have my card when I visit?

Stop by the Member Lane at Ticketing to receive a day pass (ID required). You may also download the eCard app on your Smartphone and never have to worry about not having your card when you visit.

How will I receive my guest tickets?

To issue and receive your guest tickets, please contact Guest Services at 303.370.6000. You can also stop by the Members Lane at Ticketing to have them printed.  

Can I use my membership at other museums?

Yes. Your Denver Museum of Nature & Science membership allows you entry or discounts to more than 360 science centers/museums 90 miles outside of Denver, and 90 miles from your residence, through the Association of Science-Technology Centers Passport Program. Click here for a list of participating science museums.

Do membership benefits expire?

Yes, all membership benefits, including any unused Flex Tickets, expire at the end of your annual membership period. All benefits associated with the level of your membership are automatically reloaded when your membership is renewed.
