All Members
Member Celebration is the signature Museum event held each summer. It includes a free meal, tied to the theme of the evening, and free activities–and as always for members–a free Planetarium show. This event is also a chance for our Members to be the first to see our summer exhibit.
This year we debuted our Coney Island exhibit, and served Coney dogs and cotton candy. We set up midway games and hosted a magician to complete the theme! As an add on, Members are invited to use the tickets they are issued with their membership to see our newest large format film. We always provide a little something extra with this event.
This year the film we selected was Disneynature’s Penguins, and the ‘something extra’ was a live video feed with the Henry Doorly Zoo. They taught us about the penguins that live right here in Nebraska! Join today and be on the guest list for next year’s event.
Premiere Members
There are three levels of Premiere Members: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. These Members receive exclusive invitations to at least two additional events each year. These often celebrate the openings of new large format films, but can be also feature new exhibits.
These Memberships allow you and your family an early, up-close experience with the new films and exhibits at the Museum. These events often key on the premiere of a new film, and always include something extra. That can include speakers and special guests; games, giveaways, and prizes; and always a light meal to round out the evening.
Earlier this year we opened the film Superpower Dogs in 3D and 2D. For that premiere we hosted seven comforts dogs for our Premieres to love on and learn about. Comfort dogs made us think of comfort food, so we served a make-your-own macaroni-and-cheese bar with lots of toppings. The kids of the Premiere Members were given mini-posters and trading cards from the film that represented the different dogs featured in the movie. Just before the film, the Nebraska State Patrol was on hand to offer a demonstration with one of the dogs in a local unit that assists with drug detection. It was a great evening. These memberships start at just $175 per year and include Member perks for two adults and all children or grandchildren 21 and under.
