2014 Price Changes
As part of the Museum’s commitment to its mission of inspiring curiosity through exploration, we are in the midst of transforming our permanent spaces to create more engaging and relevant science experiences that you and your families can explore and grow with. We have received very positive feedback on these changes, and we are continuing to move forward with the installation of interactive science studios that will transform your museum experience. In order to support these changes and develop new offerings, we've applied a small price increase to most membership levels effective January 1, 2014.
