Are you a member of the Museum of Ventura County? The Yalinkatian Family is!
“For our family, it is important to keep places like the Museum up and running. The memberships allow them to feature exhibits that we otherwise may never have learned about or discovered before and have events that cater to everyone, young and old. And have you checked out the most amazing living bee hive at the Agriculture Museum in Santa Paula? How would you ever have been close enough to see one if it wasn’t for that?”
Membership at the Museum of Ventura County connects you to an engaged community. You will be supporting museum outreach programs, maintenance of the collection and facilities, and the Research Library. But more importantly, you’ll be investing in the community — your community.

All membership levels include free admission to both the Museum of Ventura County and the Agriculture Museum in Santa Paula, invitations to members-only events and advanced notice of upcoming events, exhibits and more!
“The Museum offers us reason to get us out of the house. There is always something new and exciting, and taking a few hours to get the kids out and us parents for that matter, is refreshing. Even going back to see the same exhibit, you can always catch something you may have missed before”.
