Membership

Members help ensure our museum is open and accessible for all

At Hands-on House, we believe play is serious business—and that every child deserves a place to explore, wonder, connect, and grow. By becoming a member, you’re not only creating meaningful moments for your own family. You’re also investing in a shared future where early learning and family connection are accessible to all.

We know parenting young children is hard—especially when families are being squeezed from all sides. That’s why we’re reimagining what museum membership looks like. Our new model is designed to be more flexible, affordable, and impactful—supporting both your family and the broader community.


 

Membership Model:

Our recommended contribution is $20 a month ($240 a year)

We depend on the generous support of our members, visitors, and donors to keep our doors open, BUT we also want to make sure that every child and caregiver can access our exhibits and programs regardless of their capacity to pay. If $20/month still feels out of reach, will help you find a monthly contribution that feels more aligned to your budget. 

 

Memberships at ANY contribution level include:

  • Admission for any 5 people (adult or child) per visit
  • Unlimited visits and access to immersive exhibits, classes + programming
  • 10% off gift shop
  • Flexible payment options: pay in full or monthly for no additional fee
     

Annual Membership: 

A one-time contribution of $240 for unlimited yearly access. Annual memberships are a great fit for:

  • Families who are in a position to support our mission at the recommended contribution level and would like to contribute $240 upfront
  • Those looking to gift a membership to someone else
     

Flexible Membership: 

If would prefer to make monthly installments of $20 or would like to contribute a more budget-aligned amount either annually or monthly please fill out the form below. Our Director of Museum Experience, Colleen, will be in touch to set up your membership.
