Many benefits are offered to Discovery Circle members, including but not limited to:

• A six-person annual Museum membership
• Free passes and event tickets donated to a community group of your choice
• Invitations to special events, lectures and exhibition openings
• Early spring and summer camp registration
• Recognition in Museum publications and annual donor wall
