Educator Memberships and Member Benefits
We love our educators! The Houston Museum of Natural Science offers special discounts on all membership levels for educators. Use your membership to enjoy all the perks of a museum membership for yourself, or use your membership to take advantage of discounts on programs for your students. We hope you’ll do both! After all, joining the HMNS member family means benefits for you, your family, and your students!

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.

If you choose to sign up for AutoRenew, either inform your cashier you’re an educator or send an email to jrussell@hmns.org.

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!
