Membership FAQs

If my membership includes a guest(s) with each visit, how does my guest get access to the museum?

Memberships at the Admirer+1, Supporter, Enthusiast and Contributor levels include guest access.  All guests must be accompanied by an AGO Member when visiting the museum. Members need only go to ago.ca to book guest tickets in advance or simply come to the Members' Desk with their digital card and their guests.

Can I gift a Membership at any level?

Yes! Share a full year of artful experiences and fantastic AGO Members' benefits with friends and family! Visit visit.ago.ca to purchase. A Membership gift certificate will be emailed to the gift purchaser within 24 hours. The Gift recipient will receive their AGO Membership within two to three (2 – 3) business days of their gift redemption. 

Does the AGO offer Family Memberships?

No. As one of Ontario’s most accessible cultural institutions, Ontario residents under 25 enjoy free admission all year round, no membership required.

Will my digital membership card update when I renew my membership? 

Yes. When it is time to renew, you will be invited to select a new Membership level. At that time, your digital membership card will automatically update with a new expiry date.
