Join Harbor House

Memberships

Unlimited visits, all year long — plus a little Harbor House magic on top. Members get a special gold Explorer Passport cover, early entry at member mornings, and guest passes to share the fun. Every price on this page is a sample price — demonstration only.

Why families join

Your membership powers the Explorer Passport adventure: flash your gold cover at the welcome desk, collect a badge in each of the six worlds, and come back as often as curiosity strikes — rainy Tuesdays, birthday weekends, and "we had twenty minutes, so we popped in" days included.

🧮 Do the museum math: a single visit for a family of four costs about $52 at sample prices (2 adults × $12 + 2 children × $14). A Family Membership is a sample $149/year — so a membership pays for itself in about 3 visits. After that, every visit is pure bonus — and the guest passes and member mornings are the cherry on top.

Member perks & mornings

Member mornings

Members enter early on special member mornings — quieter galleries, first pick of the fossil dig, and coffee for grown-ups. See the Events page for sample dates.

Guest passes, explained

Each guest pass brings one friend or grandparent along free for a day. Passes arrive with your membership and refresh every year — use them for playdates, cousins, or a very lucky neighbor.

The gold passport cover
