Why Become a Member of Planet Word?

Members of our Word Association support the museum’s mission — to inspire and renew a love of words, language, and reading — and also enjoy exclusive benefits and special access to programs and events.

As an independent, nonprofit organization with free admission, Planet Word relies on membership to keep our unique immersive language experiences in tip-top shape, to bring you outstanding programs and events, and to offer original, engaging learning experiences to local and Title I students.

Your membership ensures that we can continue to engage our visitors in a technologically awesome experience (over 560,000 in the first five years of operating!). Visitors learn the critical abilities they need to think deeply about the words they read, hear, see, and speak all around them. A visit to Planet Word empowers visitors to use their words for good.
