Renewing Your Museum Membership

Thank you for being a member of Madison Children’s Museum! We’re delighted you’re interested in renewing your membership for another year.

Pro-Tip: You don’t need to wait till your current membership expires to renew! 

When you renew, a new year is added to the end of the remaining months on your membership.

You may renew your membership at your current level, or you may change your membership to a new level (see below for level options!) And, as an added bonus, when you upgrade your membership to a higher level you start to enjoy all the additional benefits immediately (such as adding people, using reciprocal admission at other museums, etc.) even if you have months left on your current, lower membership.
