Members are an important part of our community of curious tinkerers, explorers, and innovators. The museum is currently undergoing construction on the lower-level wing to provide new interactive exhibit experiences, improved ease of access, and enhanced on and off-site education programming.

Throughout renovations, the West Winds mansion is open to the public Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with new Science Studios each month! The West Winds Mansion will also be available for private rentals throughout the project.

As a member, you will receive early access to special events, inclusion in focus groups and visitor surveys, and sneak-peak access to our new exhibits! Because our regular offerings and open hours during this time period are limited, current and new members will receive a 6 months extension – 18 months total - free of charge.

We are thrilled to have you with us during our transformation as we look forward to big changes and an exciting future!
