Be a part of the excitement at Tellus Science Museum by becoming a member! Membership is vital to the museum because your contribution supports our general daily operations, ensures that we will be able to provide fun, educational programs, and will allow us to provide new, exciting exhibits for years to come.

Membership benefits last an entire year and include free admission to the museum, free planetarium tickets, discounts in the Store and Café, invitations to exclusive member events and more! And because the museum is a nonprofit public charity, some (or all) of your contribution may be tax deductible. Browse thru the list of membership levels and choose the one that works best for your family!

Tellus members at the Friend level ($150) and above will now enjoy free admission to more than 300 participating museums through the Association of Science–Technology Centers (ASTC) Passport Program. This impressive group includes some of the top science destinations throughout the country and abroad. Museums located within 90 miles of Tellus are not included, but there are many others that are just a day trip away. To see a complete list of participating museums, please click here.

Museum Package members ($200) currently receive Family level or Me and My Grandkids level benefits at Tellus, the Booth Western Art Museum and the Bartow History Museum (BHM). Going forward these members will also receive the Passport Program’s free admission to 300 science museums, plus free admission to 12 of the top Western museums through the Museums West Consortium using your Booth membership, and free admission to more than 75 outstanding art and history museums through the Southeastern Reciprocal Membership (SERM) program using your BHM membership. This means you would have access to nearly 400 great museums with just one membership while supporting your favorite museums at the same time.
