Member Appreciation Month

Posted on Aug 17, 2026 by Mandy Barlow

September 1 – 30

Join us throughout September as we celebrate Member Appreciation Month! We’re grateful for the support, enthusiasm, and sense of community our members bring to the Building for Kids. As a thank you, we’re offering a variety of special perks and added benefits throughout the month:

• Free Parking: Parking will be free for members throughout September! Park in the downtown Yellow or Red parking ramp and bring your ticket into the museum it validated. Free parking is available for up to four hours.
• Extra Guests: During September, members can bring up to two free extra guests per visit!
• Gift Shop Coupon: Stop by the BFK to get an exclusive offer in our gift shop full of fun and educational items!
• Member Preview Night: A traveling exhibit, Framed: Step Into Art™, is coming to the BFK in late September! Members are invited to join us for a Member Preview Night on September 18 from 5 – 7pm, where they can enjoy pizza and access to the exhibit before it opens to the public. This event is free for members, but registration is encouraged. Click here to register!

Member Appreciation Month will also mark an exciting transition as we introduce a new approach to membership designed to provide greater flexibility and accessibility for families. We’re looking forward to sharing more details soon and continuing to improve the membership experience!

Thank you to all of our members for making the Building for Kids a part of your family’s story. We hope you’ll come celebrate with us in September!
