The Crane Membership

Your Family’s Passport to the World of Cranbrook.

As a benefit of enrollment at Cranbrook Schools, we are delighted to offer the families of all our students a complimentary Crane Household Membership.
 
The Crane Membership grants special access to the spectacular experiences in science, art, education and nature that are the unique hallmark of Cranbrook Educational Community.
 
Stand beneath a towering Tyrannosaurus, dig for dinosaur bones, or immerse yourself in a planetarium show at Cranbrook Institute of Science. Enjoy world-class exhibitions and lectures featuring modern and contemporary art and designers at Cranbrook Art Museum. Explore breathtaking gardens and natural spaces, receive discounts on special events, and get early access to the regionally famous Plant Sale at Cranbrook House & Gardens. Discover the innovative history and remarkable historical homes and collections of Cranbrook while receiving discounts on public tours and lectures at Cranbrook Center for Collections and Research.
 
We encourage you to explore our campus and websites (see below) to discover the full range of benefits available to you as a Cranbrook Schools family!
