Additional Ways to Gift Play

Membership

This year, give the gift that will last a lifetime – the gift of play. Membership to the Cayton Children’s Museum allows your little ones to immerse themselves in hands-on sensory art and movement activities, explore different cultures and perspectives, and engage in play experiences that foster curiosity and creativity.

Play It Forward

With many children living in our community that don't have access to safe or meaningful places to play, you can play it forward by gifting a PLAY4ALL pass to a family where they can discover, connect and grow at the Cayton. Your support, big or small, will mean play for all. Your choice of a membership, PLAY4ALL pass, or a purchase from our store not only provides the gift of play but also supports our mission, programs and access initiatives. Gift a membership, PLAY4ALL pass, or a present today to join us in playing our way to a better world.
