FAQ

Find answers to some of the questions asked most frequently, learn how our membership program works, about your benefits, and how to make the most out of your MOPOP membership.

How do I visit the museum with my membership?

For the smoothest entry and check-in process, we highly recommend that all members reserve entry tickets before visiting the Museum. Go to MOPOP.org/Visit, select a date, then login to your account from the top left corner of the screen.

Forgot to reserve your tickets? No problem! Go to the ticketing counter and show a representative your digital membership card or photo ID. They will check you in and get you on your way to enjoying a day at the museum.

Memberships are available for use immediately after purchase with a receipt or photo ID. Please note that guest passes are not available for immediate use as they are sent via email up to seven days after membership purchase.

I have not received my membership card or guest passes yet. What should I do?

If it has been more than seven days, please contact us at Membership@MOPOP.org. You will be asked to confirm your contact information. Your replacement items will be emailed within 24 hours.

Who can be included on my membership?

Dual Membership Includes two named individuals

Can I give a Membership as a gift?

Yes! Click the “Gift” button under the membership level you would like to give. You will be prompted to enter one recipient’s name and email address. You (purchaser) will receive a PDF voucher with redemption instructions that you can print and gift by hand or simply email to your recipient. Your gift recipient will then present the voucher at any ticketing counter at the museum, where a representative will collect the necessary information (email(s), secondary names, street address, etc.). Digital membership card(s) and guest passes will be emailed to your recipient within seven days.

MOPOP offers digital membership cards for all levels, for your convenience and to reduce our environmental impact . Please keep in mind, member benefits are non-transferable. ID may be required when presenting your digital membership card.

How do I use my digital membership card?

Digital cards function just like plastic. Simply present your digital card and photo ID at the Ticketing Desk to check in. Keep in mind that we always recommend reserving your member tickets at MOPOP.org/Visit.

What if I prefer a plastic membership card?

Our membership cards have gone fully digital, for the convenience of our guests and staff, and to reduce environmental impact. Your digital membership card is unique to your membership and displays your name, membership level, expiration date, and a barcode for us to scan.

‍How do I access my digital membership card?

A digital membership card download link will be emailed to the primary contact listed on the household account, which can also be forwarded to other named member(s) as necessary. Please keep in mind that ticketing staff reserves the right to request a photo ID matching the named membership card user.

‍How do I download my digital membership card?

Open the email with your digital membership card download link on your mobile device and follow the instructions to download your membership card to your smartphone wallet. Android users may need to install Wallet Passes from the Play Store prior to downloading.

If you don’t receive an email or you have deleted the email, please contact us at Membership@MOPOP.org for a new email with link.

I have a Dual or higher-level membership. Where is my additional card?

Will my digital card update when I renew my membership?

Yes! You only need to download your card once. After your membership has been fully processed your digital card will automatically update with your new expiration date, and any name changes you request. Please allow up to seven days for processing.

You can visit the museum anytime by showing your photo ID at the Ticketing Counter to verify your membership status. For a replacement digital card, contact us at Membership@MOPOP.org.
