Memberships

Choose the membership that fits how you want to create and explore. All memberships are per person, not per household. Each membership covers one individual. Everyone can visit Thrift & Gift for free — a membership gives the enrolled person Discovery Center access, Weekly Activity savings and Maker Lab opportunities.

Founding member offer

Join by November 15 and save 25% for three months.

Membership benefits begin November 1, 2026. Pre-registration is open now. The founding promotion is prefilled in the signup link; confirm that your total reflects 25% off before paying. The discount is valid for your first three monthly membership payments. After that, your membership renews at the regular monthly rate. The promotion expires at the end of November 15.

Pre-registration billing: Stripe collects your first payment at checkout, and subsequent monthly payments follow your signup billing date. Center access and included benefits begin November 1, not the day you pre-register. Membership purchases are not tax-deductible contributions.

Individual memberships: One membership covers one person, not an entire family or household.

Membership questions

Does one membership cover my whole family?

No. Memberships are individual, not household plans. Each membership covers one enrolled person. Family members who want their own membership benefits need separate memberships.

Does a membership include Thrift & Gift shopping?

Everyone can enter and browse Thrift & Gift without paying admission or buying a membership. Items you purchase are priced separately.

What is included in Weekly Activity?

The Discovery Center Weekly Activity is normally $15 for nonmembers. Basic members pay half price. Plus, Premium and Ultimate include the Weekly Activity, subject to scheduling, available space and supplies. Workshops and other specialty programs are separate.

What about supervision and Maker Lab age restrictions?

Children under 10 need a parent or responsible adult on-site. Children under 12 may enter the upstairs Maker Lab with a parent or responsible adult, but may never operate machinery. Ages 12–17 must have signed permission from a parent or legal guardian before operating approved machinery. Adults 18 and older may operate approved machinery after completing the required safety instructions. All machine use is subject to equipment-specific safety rules.

When does the founding discount end?

Join by November 15, 2026 to receive the prefilled 25% discount on the first three monthly membership invoices. Regular monthly pricing applies afterward. The offer does not discount materials, sessions or other purchases.

How does billing work?

Pre-registration is available now; access starts November 1. Your first membership charge occurs at checkout, followed by monthly renewals. For questions about cancellations or refunds, contact us before enrolling.

Memberships cover one person each. Capacity limits and activity availability apply. Hours beginning November 1: Tuesday–Friday 11 AM–5 PM; Saturday–Sunday 10 AM–5 PM; closed Monday. Questions? Contact the center.
