THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM OF EAU CLAIRE— FUN FOR THE WHOLE YEAR!

The Children's Museum of Eau Claire exists as an interactive environment for children and their grown-ups that inspires imagination, discovery, creativity and the love of learning. One of the ways that CMEC best accomplishes this mission is through annual memberships.

Although there is tremendous value in even just one visit to the Museum, the most significant and lasting impact happens over time, through multiple and consistent visits—in other words, through membership.

MEMBERSHIPS ARE ACTIVE FOR ONE YEAR FROM DATE OF PURCHASE.  

If you are purchasing a membership as a gift and do not want them to know or do not want the membership to start immediately, please purchase a gift card  that can be redeemed at a later date. Memberships are digital and you will NOT receive a membership card in the mail unless requested.
