Become a Science Mill member
A Science Mill membership is more than museum admission—it’s a full year of hands-on STEM discovery, family fun, and unforgettable moments of curiosity.
Whether you’re inspiring your kids or grandkids, exploring together as a family, or looking for a place where learning comes to life, membership is the best way to experience all the Science Mill has to offer.
WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING
“We have been members of the Science Mill for the past three years, and it continues to be one of our family’s favorite places to visit. Not only do we enjoy the hands-on exhibits, but we also appreciate the many extra activities and special events the museum offers throughout the year. The gift shop is always a highlight as well! It’s filled with educational and fun items that make great take-home learning tools while also supporting the museum.
As the founder of Faraday STEM Academy in Spicewood, TX, I’m especially excited about the opportunities to partner with the Science Mill for future field trips and homeschool programs. The Science Mill is a true gem in our community, and we are grateful for the way it inspires curiosity and a love of STEM in kids and adults alike. Each time you visit, there is something new to explore!”
