    Memberships: $90 for just two or $130 for family or grandparents. Cover the cost of someone's membership! As a non-profit organization we rely on generous donations, sponsorships, grants, and admission to meet our mission goals. However, we recognize that membership and admission cost can be a barrier for some families. We give away thousands of free passes each year to community partners to help fill that gap in need. We invite you to help us reach more families by funding a membership for someone else in need.

  • Refrigerator $600-$1,000. A fridge is essential for our big events like the annual FloraCraft Christmas Party and New Years Eve Balloon Drop.

  • Bubble Supplies! $20-$100: We go through a few bottles of soap to create our fun interactive bubbles for our Bubbles Exhibit! Help us keep the magic going by supporting supplies for bubble making!

  • Slip resistant Mat for Bubble Table Exhibit $400 or more. Our Bubble Table can get a little slick and our current mats need replacing. We use quality mats to keep the area safe from trips, slips, and falls.
