Excitement is building as Great River Children’s Museum (GRCM) prepares to open its doors in late spring. Starting April 1, families can purchase memberships and secure a full year of unlimited access to a world of play, exploration, and hands-on learning.
All adults and children named on a membership will enjoy unlimited museum access for a full year, beginning on Grand Opening day. Memberships are available for groups of 2 to 9 people, making it easy for families of all sizes to participate. Once tickets become available for Grand Opening, membership holders will have first access to schedule museum visits through the timed-entry ticketing system. Single-day admission tickets will be $14 per person; children under the age of 12 months are always free.
Additional membership benefits, discount programs, and scholarship opportunities will be announced once the museum opens. GRCM will participate in the Museums for All program, ensuring that all families will have access to play. This initiative makes museum visits more accessible by offering reduced daily admission for those receiving food assistance (SNAP benefits).
A Great River Children’s Museum membership isn’t just about admission: it’s a gateway to enriching experiences. Members will have access to a variety of engaging programs, including interactive STEAM activities, cultural celebrations, early childhood play sessions, and hands-on creative workshops. From inspiring curiosity to fostering lifelong learning, the museum’s programming will ensure new experiences with every visit.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of play from opening day! Visit greatrivercm.org starting April 1 to purchase your membership.
