- Attend Free Family STEAM Nights every Thursday from 4-6 PM for free admission and complimentary dinner (while supplies last). Check the venue's Facebook and website beforehand since weekly topics rotate, allowing you to plan visits around exhibits that interest your family most.

- Ask about scholarships available at the front desk through partnership with the Wyoming Child Support Program. This accessibility option ensures financial barriers don't prevent low-income families from accessing summer camps and paid programming.
