+ Membership

A successful space mission requires an active and powerful booster system. The mission of supporting the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center is no different. By joining the Cosmosphere as a member, you become a catalyst for our incredible mission... to become the most comprehensive space museum in existence.

Who should become a member? Anyone who is planning to visit the Cosmosphere - the minimal price nearly pays for itself with just one visit to the Cosmosphere. And with the subscription to the Cosmosphere's member newsletter, you'll stay current on the changes and additions to one of America's premier space museums.
