COVID-19 Update: Museum Memberships Extended

We have extended current Museum memberships to reflect the length of Museum closure so members are able to reserve outdoor playtime online at no cost. Once the full Museum is open, an additional membership extension will also take place. Be sure to create an account in Altru using your email address on file to receive your free admission.

If you choose, you can honor your existing membership expiration date to support the Museum. Contact Mari, our membership coordinator, at membership@prairieplay.org.

Thank you for being a member and choosing to support the Power of Play! If you would like to further support our work to spark imagination and learning, make a donation on our website.
