8 Reasons to Give a Gift Membership

Looking for the perfect gift for a special family in your life? Give the gift of play with a membership to Minnesota Children’s Museum. There are so many reasons to give a museum membership this holiday season. Here are the top eight:

1. It’s unlimited fun for an entire year

An annual membership to the museum provides the whole family with free admission for 12 months. That means they can play, pretend, explore, create and enjoy everything the museum has to offer for an entire year. Now that’s a gift that keeps on giving!

2. Play builds strong brains and bodies

Our museum is intentionally designed to let kids take the lead. Kids have the space and freedom to explore their interests and build skills that help them thrive in school and throughout life – skills like confidence, coordination, critical and creative thinking, communication and more.

3. It provides a great play space during inclement weather

Whether it’s rain, snow or uncomfortable temperatures, Minnesota weather can make outside play difficult at times. A museum membership offers the flexibility of having a play space available whenever it’s needed.

4. Families bond and make memories at the museum

When parents and caregivers play with their kids, it strengthens the bond between them. Our museum offers the perfect space for family togetherness away from the distractions of home and the pressure of school work. Parents often discover something new about their kids when they visit, and families build memories that last a lifetime.

5. Experiences make the best gifts

Rather than giving kids more toys and electronics, give them the excitement that comes from an experiential gift. Kids will love the larger-than-life experiences the museum provides and will want to come back to revisit their favorite exhibits and activities. Imagine knowing that your gift will bring joy and be used again and again for an entire year.

6. Members get special perks

Museum members get exclusive access to exhibit sneak peeks and other members-only events. They also receive discounts to the museum café and store, up to six discounted guest tickets, as well as discounts to other local family attractions and children’s museums around the country.

7. There’s always something new to see or do at the museum

Exhibits and activities are always rotating and changing—so there’s always something new for kids and families to discover and explore at the museum. Our newest permanent exhibit, Shipwreck Adventures, opened this past spring, while Nature Remix, a whimsical nature-based experience, just opened in Imaginopolis in October. Upcoming special exhibits include Emotions at Play with Pixar’s Inside Out, coming in summer 2023, and Framed: Step into Art, opening this January.

8. Membership helps keep the museum strong

The museum is a nonprofit organization that relies on memberships to help pay for the experiences and staff that make every visit special. Members are the heart and soul of the museum. Members ensure that the museum will continue to spark children’s learning through play for years to come. 

Now that is an amazing gift! Don’t wait – visit our gift page and purchase a membership today! Be sure to purchase by Dec. 14 to ensure the membership packet is delivered by Dec. 24.
