Memberships at Spark!

Spark! is designed to be a place families return to again and again.

A place where children can build, imagine, experiment, move, create, and grow through experiences that support curiosity and connection.

Membership makes it easier to make Spark! part of your family’s rhythm — whether you stop in for an afternoon of exploration or become regular visitors throughout the year.

Memberships options

Membership supports more than repeat visits.

It helps Spark! continue creating accessible, hands-on learning experiences for children and families across our region.

Your membership helps sustain:

  • community access initiatives

  • creative and sensory experiences

  • educational programming

  • family-centered events

  • inclusive spaces designed for exploration and connection

When families become members, they help strengthen a community space built for curiosity, creativity, and belonging.

Why Membership Matters

A collection of toys and art supplies scattered on a wooden surface including LEGO bricks, figurines of cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Daffy Duck, small plastic animals, and colorful markers. In the center, there are Scrabble tiles spelling out the word "FRIENDS."
