FAQ

Which Michigan museums take NARM?

Notable NARM participants in Michigan include Detroit Institute of Arts, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Grand Rapids Art Museum, Cranbrook Art Museum, University of Michigan Museum of Art — a sample from the official roster; our map holds 42 Michigan rows in total. Your home membership must be at a NARM-qualifying level.

Does the ASTC 90-mile rule apply in Michigan?

Yes, everywhere: ASTC reciprocity only works when the science center you're visiting is 90+ miles from both your home science center and your home address — so Air Zoo is free for traveling members but not for locals. The lookup tool computes it for your ZIP.
