Affordable Adventure includes all the same benefits as a Family membership. Your family qualifies if you, the adult on the membership, participate in BadgerCare, FoodShare, Medicaid, or WIC (Women, Infants, and Children).
Donor Levels ($500 and up)
When you make a donor level gift, even more of your membership supports ongoing research, artifact and specimen care, education programs, and world-class exhibits. As a thank you for your support, these levels include additional benefits.
Memberships can be purchased online or by phone from our Membership Hotline at 414-278-6170*.
