We want you to be our Pal! Join the Grand Rapids Children's Museum with a membership that grows along with your child. If you think your family might visit the Museum three or four times throughout the next year, then a Pals family membership is for you!
With a Pals membership you can relax when you visit, because you know you can come back again soon! You don't have to rush to fit everything in. Make shorter visits, come for programs and events, get to know the staff, and meet other "regulars" with children the same age as yours!
The GRCM is never the same place twice! As children develop, they can use our interactive exhibits like Funstruction, the Amigo Amphitheater, and Mirror Magic in increasingly sophisticated ways. GRCM also hosts traveling exhibits and an ever-changing array of activities and innovative programs.
Best of all, kids love open-ended, self-directed learning experiences. Whether they're making a mess or a masterpiece, they'll thrive in an environment that supports their individual needs and abilities.
