Purchase a Membership

If you are a family of four, an individual or couple, a membership will pay for itself in TWO visits! Buy one for yourself and pick one up for someone else who loves to experience the world through science.

There is so much going on at Atlas, you are going to want to come again and again! (see below for Spooky Science in October). We also have special events planned through the end of 2024...new stage show and paper activities each month!


WIn (Wisconsin Industry Innovatives)

We are excited to announce our new initiative called WIn (Wisconsin Industry Innovations) that focuses on career training and science education, enriched with immersive virtual reality experiences. Our goal is to inspire, educate and engage young learners, equipping them with the skills to navigate a world increasingly reliant on scientific literacy. Additionally, this two-year-long exhibition offers corporate sponsorship opportunities and will serve as a platform to exhibit innovative concepts, products and industries that exemplify Northeast Wisconsin as an exceptional place to work, live and thrive.


Enjoy fun, hands-on temporary and permanent exhibits, stage presentations, the STEAM Hub and so much more!
