Membership

Invest in your child's learning by becoming a member

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.


All memberships now 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

Seasonal Membership Tiers

 

 

School Year Membership


September–May (9months)
$20 a month 

BONUS OFFER: Commit to a school year membership (9months) by August 31 and continue to access our museum at the same $20 a month rate for Summer 2026

Play is preparation—for school, for life, and for connection. A school-year membership offers consistent play-based learning through immersive programs and hands-on exhibits. As a member you'll support the development of this needed third place where children build confidence, rhythm, and readiness alongside other families.

 

Summer Membership


June–August
$33 a month

Summer brings a different kind of fullness to family schedules. Opportunities to slow down, be present, and enjoy play are essential! A summer membership offers unlimited access to imaginative play, skill-building experiences, and seasonal exploration in our adventure garden rich with native flora and fauna.

 


Play IS learning! Play matters.

Nurturing expression, early development, and life-long well-being!
