Membership FAQs

What benefits are included in a membership?

Membership benefits include unlimited visits to TCMU-Greenville and TCMU-Spartanburg, exclusive monthly Member Mornings, pre-registration for summer camps and events, discounts on birthday parties, discounts on purchases at The TCMU Store, discounts on special events, and discounted admission for all member guests.

What are the requirements for membership slots?

Each membership must have at least one adult and one child listed. Every slot needs to be claimed by a specific individual, so anyone using the membership must be named on it.

Can I leave a spot open or use a floating guest spot on my membership?

You’re welcome to leave a slot open if it’s not actively in use, but we do not allow floating guest spots. Only the named individuals on the membership can use the membership.

Do you offer any discounts on memberships?

Yes! We offer two discounted membership options:

  • Foster Family Membership: A special membership is available for foster families. Contact Guest Services for more information.
  • Museums for All Membership: This discounted membership is available for those with SNAP, EBT, or WIC. Contact Guest Services for more information.

Additionally, educators receive a $20 discount with proof of employment at a school or as a homeschool educator.

Can I change the names on my membership after purchasing it?

Generally, membership names are set at purchase and cannot be changed. However, in extenuating circumstances, we are open to reviewing adjustment requests on a case-by-case basis. Contact guest services to discuss your situation.

Can someone not named on my membership use it?

Only individuals named on the membership are eligible for free admission. However, if an unnamed guest accompanies a member, they are eligible for a member guest ticket at a discounted rate of $10 per ticket.

How many people can a membership cover?

Each membership level covers a specific number of family members, with each slot assigned to an individual. For help choosing the right level, contact our guest services team.

How do I purchase or gift a membership?

Memberships can be purchased online, at our front desk, or over the phone.

When is my membership active, and how long is it valid?

A new membership is active and ready for use immediately upon purchase. It is valid for one year (12 months) starting on the date of purchase.

What if my family size changes after purchasing a membership?

If your family grows or changes, we recommend upgrading to the membership level that best accommodates your new family size. Our guest services team can help you with any adjustments.

Can I upgrade my membership level?

Yes, you have up to 3 months from the date of purchase to upgrade your membership and pay only the difference between the two price points. After the 3-month period, your membership can still be upgraded but will require a renewal at the full price of the desired membership level.

Can I renew my membership before the expiration date?

Yes, you can renew your membership at any time at the full price of the desired membership level. The renewed membership will be valid for one year (12 months) starting from your current expiration date, so you won’t lose any remaining months on your current membership. Memberships can be renewed online, at our front desk, or over the phone.

Are memberships refundable?

Memberships cannot be canceled and are non-refundable.

Who should I contact for more questions about memberships?

Our guest services team is here to help! Feel free to reach out by phone (864-233-7755), email ([email protected]), or in person at the museum.
