New Membership Policy:

Starting February 1, 2012, the Virginia Discovery Museum will require all members to present their membership card for entry into the museum.

If you do not have a card, please notify a staff member or email membership@vadm.org. We will also be issuing you two laminated cards upon starting or renewing your membership. These cards will be available for pick-up at the Front Desk 7-10 days after the purchase of your membership. We hope that this will cut down on confusion about membership expiration dates and lost cards in the mail.
