When you join or gift a membership to The Nat, you’re helping keep nature healthy in Southern California and the Baja California Peninsula. Along with giving you unlimited admission, guest passes, and invites to member-only events, your membership helps us do important conservation work and connect more people to nature, so we can all preserve this amazing place we call home.
Members get invited to members-only events and enjoy behind-the-scenes access and the chance to preview exhibitions before they open to the public. With year-round general admission, take advantage of family-oriented programs including Family Days, Nature & Me Storytime, and The Backyard, a play space for kids 5 and under. And don’t forget that members enjoy discounts on programs such as Nat Talks and after-hours events including the Secret Society of Adultologists.
As part of our celebrations of our 150th anniversary, we are hosting a members-only book club from April to October 2024. Join our Membership Manager and Library Curator to discuss Coyote America by Dan Flores, every 3rd Friday of the month. We’ll have coyote activities, fun discussion, and raffle prizes for our top attendee—no registration needed. Come get your howl on with the One Book, One Museum book club.
