Membership FAQs

Becoming a Member

Do you sell gift cards?

Unfortunately, we do not currently offer gift cards. However, you can gift a membership online at any time.

Can I apply my admission fees toward the purchase of a membership?

Yes; however, you can only apply the number of tickets that matches the number of people you will have on your membership. We can only apply up to five tickets to any membership level.

Your sales receipt is required, tickets must be applied the day of your visit. This can only be done in person, not online.

Can I request a refund or transfer of my membership?

Membership purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Why must I name all the members on the account?

As a children's museum, the safety of our guests and staff is first and foremost on our mind. Naming all members on the membership, helps us maintain the security of your account. Family of Five memberships and above include one unnamed member for your convenience.

How long until I receive my membership information?

Welcome emails are sent out on Mondays and Fridays. Digital membership cards are also sent out on Mondays and Fridays. You can visit The DoSeum immediately using a photo ID for check-in.

You do not have to be present for the caretaker to visit. Please share the digital membership card with them by using this link.

As a Member, you can visit other ASTC and ACM accredited institutions. The ASTC Travel Passport Program has various benefits. For a full list of details and participating museums, please carefully read here: https://www.astc.org/passport/

ASTC benefits cannot be applied within a 90-mile distance of the museum where you have a membership. Therefore, you cannot use ASTC benefits within San Antonio.

If they are not listed on the membership, you do not need to be present for them to check in with your children; they must identify as member guests, and pay the member guest fee.
