With a museum membership, you can stop worrying about “what are we doing today?” because the answer is EASY: come play! Enjoy unlimited visits all summer long, pop in for special programs and member perks, score discounts on birthday parties, and let the kids burn energy while you soak in the fun (and maybe even sit down for 3 whole minutes).

Rainy day? Museum day.
Too hot outside? Museum day.
Kids bouncing off the walls? Definitely museum day.

From outdoor adventures in Friendship Fields to hands-on exhibits, creativity, climbing, building, exploring, and discovering, membership means you can come as often as you’d like — because one visit is never enough.

Plus, being a member means you’re part of a community that believes in play, imagination, and making childhood magical. And honestly? Unlimited fun is a pretty great deal.
