The Children's Metamorphosis
The Met ... a museum for growing children
Our website is in transition; please browse our growing info and material below.
Met membership gives you free regular admission plus significant discounts on our educational programs and fun family activities. New for 2008, we offer three forms of annual membership — Family, Met-for-Two, and Business — and a Membership Donation option. Please download and use our Membership Registration Form, fill one out at The Met, or call us at (603) 425-2560 with any questions.
A Family Membership lets you and your immediate family enjoy the Met at your own pace and
in your own way, and gives you free admission to 130 Association of Children's Museums (ACM) museums around the country. This generous $100 annual membership includes:
A Family Membership covers six members of your Immediate Family: children, parents, and grandparents, plus a regular sitter or nanny. It does not apply to field trips, group admissions, or birthday parties. (Special upgrades are available to current members joining in September 2007 or later; see the details below.)
A Met-for-Two Membership is a cost-effective way for one adult and one child to enjoy the Met as often as they like throughout the year. This $60 annual membership includes:
This membership covers one adult and one child, and does not include free admission to other ACM member museums.
For some young families our membership fees, while an extremely good value, may not be within their budget. You can make it possible for a deserving family to take advantage of all The Met has to offer. You can make a directed donation of $75 and we will give a Met Family Membership to a family who can use it. A local family service organization will assist with the determination of a qualified family and oversee the donation.
A Business Membership lets organizations offer the educational fun of the Met as a benefit or incentive for employees or a gift for customers. For $250 annually, a company receives 50 customized one-time free visit passes. Employees also get member discounts on Met programs and parties, and a special 10% discount on purchasing their own Met Family Membership. Call us at (603) 425-2560 or email for more information.
Current members who purchased an old Met-only $75 membership after August 31, 2007, can optionally upgrade to the new Met Family Membership (with ACM privileges) for just $6.25 per month (e.g., $25 if the membership was purchased in September). Members who purchased an old $125 membership with ACM access after August 31 will automatically receive a three-month extension of their annual membership.
