Give the gift of play and get a discounted Minnesota Children’s Museum Membership when you save $30 with this coupon code!
A membership to the Minnesota Children’s Museum makes a fantastic holiday gift, and right now you can save BIG with this coupon code! Use the coupon code THRIFTY30 to save $30 on a membership.
And yes, this code also works for your own family’s membership, too! You can even use it to renew your membership and add 12 months. Awesome, right?
The THRIFTY30 code will also work to take $3 off gift tickets (Limit 10) through January 17th, 2025. They make excellent gifts for birthday parties! (Note: If you have any issues with the code, please Contact Us by E-mail so we can help!)
Rather than giving more toys this year (which may or may not still be fun after a week or two), give a gift that will be enjoyed over and over again.

And there are so many more reasons besides fun for giving the gift of play via a membership. Play builds critical life skills like creative thinking, confidence and communication. Not only that, playing has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, and help develop social-emotional skills.
Whether for your own family or for a relative or friend, museum membership is a great value. It covers an entire household (not an individual person) and you can visit as many times as you want for a full year.
If you’re planning to visit more than twice in a year and you have 5 people in your family, you’ll end up paying less with a membership than paying for visits individually.
The thing we really like about having a membership is that you can make your visits long or make them very short and visit just one or two areas of the museum without feeling like you have to spend the full day and see everything to “get your money’s worth” for your ticket.
With 11 exhibit spaces to explore, with exhibits and experiences always changing, you can take it piece by piece, let your kids really take a “deep dive” into each area and experience everything each has to offer.
Besides everything above, members also get other perks like special access to exhibit sneak peeks, discounted guest tickets, discounted admission to other attractions and children’s museums across the country, and more.
If your family likes to travel, the benefit to save 50% off admission (or free admission at some museums with Household Plus Perks Membership) for up to six guests at participating children’s museums across the U.S. via the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM) Reciprocal Network, is a big money saver and a fun way to explore museums in other parts of the country.
All membership options include ALL children in the household under 18 as well as two listed adults. Options and prices after the coupon code THRIFTY30 to save $30 on a membership include:

H! I see this code is still working on their website. Is it still okay to use, or was it meant just to be used last year?
