The museum鈥檚 membership drive has set a goal to add 50 new members to its ever-growing family.  All annual memberships include free, unlimited admission,  invitations to special events and educational offerings, subscription to IMNH鈥檚 monthly e-newsletter, 10 percent discount on all purchases at the Idaho Museum of Natural History store, and one one-day guest pass.  Additionally, members benefit from quality family time spent exploring the museum鈥檚 engaging and educational exhibits and collections. 

As a past public school teacher of 3- to 5-year-old special need students and now as a grandmother, Kathy Kane is an Idaho Museum of Natural History regular. She said she received her 鈥渇irst membership as a Valentine gift from her daughter-in-law instead of candy.鈥

Kane said she feels the Idaho Museum of Natural History 鈥渋s an invaluable community resource鈥 and enjoys bringing her granddaughter to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and Family Fun Day activities.
