Cowtown members get in FREE to almost all of Cowtown’s special events. Not only that, but a family membership to Cowtown includes you, your spouse, and all of the kids up to age 18. That’s a deal even at the regular price of $75 per year. In general, memberships to local attractions are a great way to save, but this discount makes a family membership to Old Cowtown Museum an unbeatable deal!

What makes this an unbeatable membership special?

There are several reasons I think the Family membership sale at Cowtown is a good idea. I talked  about it with Jacky Goerzen, Cowtown’s director, and she told me that the membership covers two parents and all the kids under 18.

All the kids. That’s awesome.

If your family is larger than the average, you already know most local attraction memberships include a certain number of kids and then you have to pay extra. This one doesn’t.

Another reason this is a really good deal is that a Cowtown membership includes admission to the special events. Not all museum memberships do. Only a very few events, like the annual fundraiser, Breakfast with Santa, etc. are excluded from the membership.

Plus, the regular price of a Cowtown family membership is only $75 (already super affordable). Getting it for $10 less is just icing on the cake. And when you get it this early, you have a full season of events and free admission to look forward to.

You also receive a 10% discount in the saloon and the mercantile gift shop.

A Family Membership at Cowtown includes free admission for one full year from the date of purchase for two adults and all children (or grandchildren) in the family under 18.

That includes admission to special events throughout the year, like Celebrate America, Hay, Hooves, and Halloween, and Victorian Christmas, to name a few.

So basically you pay once and you’re set for family activities throughout the year.

It’s already a steal at full price, but all Family Memberships at Cowtown are on sale at $10 off.

That’s for a one-year family membership to Old Cowtown Museum.

Many cities have museums – only Wichita has the one-and-only, never-to-be-duplicated-again Cowtown.

Will a Cowtown membership save me money?

Before buying any membership, you might want to make sure it will save you money. One day’s admission to Cowtown for a family could cost $28 to $36 (or more, depending on the size of your family and your kids’ ages). You’ll easily pay for your membership with admission after just two or three family events or Cowtown visits.

  1. How do we get the discount? I went online but it says $65 and asks for a discount code

    1. Oh goodness – I forgot there might be a code! Here it is: April2021

      Apologies, and thank you for asking the question!!

  2. Thank you for the heads up, I would have hated to miss this discount. Are you aware that, while most of the special events are included in the membership, some are not? Specifically, coming up the Night in Old Delano and the Roaring 20s are not included. I couldn’t find that information on the main website, but it is available here: https://cowtown.wildapricot.org/events
    Thanks again. I appreciate all the work you put in tracking down and compiling these deals so I don’t have to.

    1. Oh! Thank you for thinking to let me know about that, Lesa. I knew there were a couple of events excluded (the Wine Mosey and Breakfast with Santa), but I didn’t realize the other adult events were not included. Thank you!!!

  3. This is awesome, we are definitely getting a membership! All the events sounds super fun. Thanks for the information.
