Membership Means More 💛
A Thinkery Membership is more than a year of play. It’s an investment in joyful learning experiences for your family and for children across our community.
Every membership helps support hands-on STEAM learning, community access programs, free and reduced admission opportunities, and spaces where kids can explore, create, and grow through play.
Along with unlimited General Admission for a year, members receive special discounts, early access to programs, and more opportunities to make memories together at Austin’s children’s museum.
When you become a member, you’re helping create more moments of curiosity, confidence, and connection for families throughout Central Texas.
