Reciprocal Admission Program At Attractions Reinstated In 2022
Members at several local attractions will have a chance to visit other attractions for free throughout the year.
PORTLAND, OR —A group of a dozen regional attractions — including several museums —announced Thursday the reinstatement of the reciprocal admission program for 2022.
The program, which existed for five years prior to going on hiatus during the pandemic, gives members of each attraction free admission to other attractions, depending on the month.
Each month, a different attraction is featured, and members from any of the other participating organizations gain free admission for themselves and three guests to the featured attraction.

"Memberships provide critical funding that allows each participating organization to further its mission," said a news release touting the reinstated partnership. "Join one or more of the participating organizations to show your support for these immersive educational institutions."
Visitors taking advantage of the reciprocal admission program must show their proof of membership along with a photo ID to the gate attendants at the designated attraction in order to receive four admission tickets (per membership), organizers said.
