Museums and attractions in the Portland metro area and beyond have teamed up to offer a reciprocal membership program. Members of the Portland Attractions Marketing Alliance (PAMA) initiated this special promotion as a way to show appreciation for each attraction’s loyal members, as well as to highlight the important role that cultural attractions play in the community.
With PAMA, participating attractions sponsor a free admission month as part of this popular program. Through the year, membership to one of the organizations is your key to free admission for up to four people during the assigned month.
Important: Aquarium members must show valid ID and present proof of valid Aquarium membership, such as a digital eMembership Card, to receive free admission to partner organizations. Free admission is valid for up to four individuals, regardless of membership level. If you have no proof of membership, please check our member FAQ or contact membership@aquarium.org prior to visiting one of the reciprocal locations.
