Nature Center Memberships
Below, we've listed the several membership levels that are available to serve the needs of individuals, couples, and families. For only $25 more, you can purchase a + 1 Guest level, which allows you to bring a guest anytime you visit. This flexible option is ideal for households with caretakers. If you would like to bring more than 1 Guest, consider a Steward, Advocate, or Krippendorf Society level.
The 2-Year membership is greener and more cost-effective. You get 10% off both years, you won’t receive renewal notices for 2 years, and you’ll get a member card good for 2 years. It helps us save paper, postage, and plastic!
