Join the CURIOSITY CLUB!
Your generosity today will inspire young minds for years to come.
The Great Lakes Children’s Museum is turning 25 this year! Now, more than ever, we are dedicated to inspiring curiosity and learning for kids of all ages and income levels. That’s why, in our 25th year, we’re launching the Curiosity Club.
With a monthly gift of just $25, members of the Curiosity Club support new and exciting exhibits, educational programs, and ongoing care of the Museum. This steady support helps us plan new exhibits and programs that keep the museum fresh, fun, and engaging.
If you’ve supported us in the past, please consider joining. With your support, we can continue to spark curiosity, imagination and connection for the next 25 years and beyond.
