An option for caregivers

You can extend your membership privileges so your caregiver - such as a grandparent, babysitter or nanny - can escort your children to the Museum in your absence. The caregiver (at least 16 years old) must show a valid Caregiver Card, your Membership Card, and ID. One caregiver's name is on the card, which is valid for the length of your membership. This option is available for $25 (free to donors of $150 or more).

Important membership guidelines

There are several important guidelines that allow us to serve you, our members. These guidelines enable us to keep fees low and to maintain the special nature of our membership. Membership is not transferable. One or two adults from the same household must be named on the membership card. At least one named member must be present for each visit. To maintain the integrity of membership cards, the Montshire admissions desk may require a photo ID along with the membership card from time to time. Please bring your membership card with you to the Museum.

Supporting the Montshire

Everyone who contributes more than the selected membership fee is considered a donor to The Montshire Fund. Our donors are very special members who partner with us to make Montshire accessible to families of all income levels. Donors of $150 or more receive expanded membership benefits, including free guest passes, a Caregiver Card, and a complimentary Six-Person Flex Membership.

Tax Deductibility

Under IRS guidelines, the value of membership benefits is not substantial so your payment is tax-deductible. Donors of $150 or more receive 10 free admission passes with an estimated fair market value of $8 each.
