Anyone using a museum membership card is expected to show a government issued photo ID along with their membership card when checking into the museum. The name on the membership card and the name on the ID should match. A wide range of government issued photo IDs will be accepted, including but not limited to a driver's license, passport, state issued ID, voter registration card, permanent resident card, and military identification card.

If you, or your childcare provider, do not have a government issued photo ID, please contact the Membership Office by calling 978-264-4200 ext. 135 or email us at membership@discoveryacton.org to make alternative arrangements.

If your family has unique needs, please contact the Membership Office for additional assistance.
