The Children’s Museum of Eau Claire announced its new membership options just ahead of summer vacation for kiddos across the Chippewa Valley, all of which include benefits that come into play across the country.

As shared via Facebook on May 22, CMEC now offers four memberships: Family/Grandparent Membership ($179/year); Triple Play Membership ($219/year); Play for All ($30/year); and the First Time Parent Membership (free).

“We are excited that this new enhanced membership program now includes ACM/ASTC benefits, which can get families into over 500 children’s museums and science centers for 50% off or even free,” said Mike Lee, the museum’s CEO. “We thought summer was a perfect time to introduce this new benefit so families can not only enjoy our museum, but others around the country and even around the world.”

The full ACM (Association of Children’s Museums) reciprocal membership list, which includes 200 museums across the globe, can be found online. The full ASTC (Association of Science and Technology Centers) list of participating locations, which also can be viewed online, stretches beyond the United States.

Technically, CMEC has decreased the number of membership options available due to combining two of the former memberships under the “Family/Grandparent” option. Learn what is included in each membership online.
