Educator Membership Discount

You can get $5 – $50 off your membership purchase just for being an educator! Give proof of employment as an educator to a Box Office cashier at your next visit, or contact our call center at (713) 639-4629. When you buy your discounted membership as an educator, we’ll also flag your account so you can enjoy extra perks!

Educator-Only Member Benefits

If we’ve flagged you as an educator, the discounts don’t stop at just you. Share the savings with your students/school with discounts on: Outreach bookings, Labs on Demand, Field Trips, Late Nights, and more! Click here to see more details.

Are you already a member but not flagged as an educator? Do you want in on these awesome benefits as well? Email jrussell@hmns.org for more information on these benefits and to flag your existing account as an educator!

Please email jrussell@hmns.org from an active school email account to let us know that you’re an educator. We’ll flag your membership so you’ll have access to all the amazing member benefits for both you and your students!

And, if you’re already a member, sign up for auto-renew and never worry about an expired membership again! You’ll get 20% off your next membership renewal when you sign up for AutoRenew, and you can still enjoy the perks of being an educator and member. Contact jrussell@hmns.org for more information on AutoRenew and flagging your membership as an educator. 

Unfortunately, we cannot apply two discounts to the same membership. If you’re not a current member and are looking to join, we recommend using the educator discount during your first year of membership. You can then sign up for auto-renew to receive 20% your next year of membership. If you’re already a member, make sure you’re signed up for AutoRenew to get 20% off your next membership renewal. You can still enjoy the educator-specific perks of being a member by emailing jrussell@hmns.org to let us know that you’re an educator. We’ll flag your membership, so you can enjoy the benefits for you and your students!

So you’ve been a member for years, or you’re becoming one and want to continue being part of our member family? Join AutoRenew, and get 20% off your membership this year and every year you automatically renew! Just give us a call at (713) 639-4629 to sign up.

If you choose to sign up for AutoRenew, either inform your cashier you’re an educator or send an email to jrussell@hmns.org. While you can’t use the Educator Membership Discount and AutoRenew Membership Discount on the same purchase, we can flag your account as an educator so you can still enjoy your Educator-Only Member Benefits.

When you call or email to book your field trip, student lab, or outreach program, let us know you’re a member. We’ll verify your membership and apply the appropriate discount to your booking!
