Membership Details

Memberships are “attached” to a caregiver or alternate caregiver who may bring between one and seven guests with them on Museum visits. The guests do not have to be related to the “member” and can be children or adults. The maximum number of free admissions is determined by the membership chosen – starting with 2 free admissions per visit for the Member & 1 up to 8 free admissions per visit for the Member & 7. The membership selected defines the number of “free guests” the member may bring on any visit. Guests exceeding the allowed max per visit are $9.00 each.
