ABOUT
25th ANNIVERSARY
Membership at Stepping Stones means more than free admission. We are a community of more than 5,000 families who play, meet and thrive in our home away from home. With new programs and events every day, plus special offerings just for members, we make sure there’s always something new to explore. Every Stepping Stones journey is different—how will you start yours?
Stepping Stones relies on the generosity of family and friends, like you, to keep us going and help us grow. The financial support we receive from memberships is a vital component of our overall operating budget, providing us with the resources to deliver impactful programs to our community. By becoming a member, you join our mission to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Effective Sunday, March 9, our Information Center will temporarily shift its hours of operation. Our Membership and Information Call Center staff will be available Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm. If you call outside of those hours, please leave a message and our staff will return your call during these modified hours of operation. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

“This place is amazing! Great for a wide range of ages. Science, art, reading, pretend play – all on hand. Membership is a total slam-dunk and very reasonable if you come back a few times. Beats any other children’s museum we’ve been to.”
“As a grandmother of two boys, aged 6 and 9, I love visiting Stepping Stones! The interaction between them and all the displays is fantastic! They share and delight in all the action and activities. I can participate as much as I want or I can observe their joy. Love you Stepping Stones!”
“We bought a membership after our first visit because my children spent hours there and still wanted more. I love that the family membership is the same price no matter how many children you have – a win for big families.”
