MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Why Become A Member?

Children love the open-ended self-directed learning experiences found in every corner of the Discovery Center. And with 8,000 sq. ft. of new museum space and new exhibits changing almost daily, it’s a different experience at every visit!

Membership to the Discovery Center also brings you the best family entertainment value for your money. At $70 a year, a family of 4 only needs to visit the Center 4 times during the year before a family membership has paid for itself! Or for an extra $30 a year receive two complimentary children’s t-shirts and free admission to over 150 children’s museums across the country!

(Visit www.childrensmuseums.org to see where your Discovery Membership can take you)
