We want you to become members!

New members
If your family is likely to visit the Museum three or four times in the next year, then a family membership makes great sense. It also changes the nature of your visits: you can relax, make short visits, get to know the staff and meet other regularly-attending parents of children the same age as yours.

A little "perk" for our members
Every Wednesday, members get FREE COFFEE all day! Don't forget to check the "Membership Matters" blackboard in the second floor entry for additional monthly, weekly and daily specials for members only.

Birthday Parties
The Party Room at the Museum is a bright, cheery spot for that special child in your life to celebrate his or her birthday in an atmosphere designed just for kids. Assisted by Museum Explainers, you, your child and his or her guests can investigate all the wonders the Museum offers. There will be plenty of time to visit and try out all the hands-on exhibits!
