Big News: How to Become a Founding Family of STEAM Station!
We are officially on the countdown to bringing a brand-new kind of play and movement center to Knightdale in Q1 2027. Right now, behind the scenes, we are finalizing the venue and planning to start build out on October 1st. We are working hard to design a space where high-energy interactive games, karaoke, art, engineering, and active play come together.
While our doors don't open until early next year, we are ready to start building the community that will bring this space to life. This fall (October/November), we will be launching a GoFundMe campaign to kick off our pre-opening push. As part of that campaign, we are offering an exclusive, highly limited opportunity: The STEAM Station Founding Family Membership.
This is your invitation to get in on the ground floor, secure the absolute deepest discounts we will offer, and permanently stamp your family’s name onto the foundation of STEAM Station.
What is a Founding Family?
Founding Families are the core of our community. You are the parents, grandparents, friends, and businesses who value learning through active play, want incredible indoor options right here in the Knightdale area, and believe in the mission of this local, independently owned center from day one. You’ll help shape our early programs and be the very first to step inside.
The Ultimate Perk: One-and-Done Annual Pricing
Our standard memberships will be billed on a monthly basis, but this pre-opening window is the only time we will offer an annual option.
For $1,000 (+ tax), your family is completely set for the year. You pay once, and you don’t have to worry about a single monthly bill for the next 12 months.
Even better? This is the only membership tier that locks in the option to renew annually at this rate. While you can cancel at any time with a 30-day notice, if you do cancel, you won't be able to get this tier back.
Massive Savings & Exclusive Perks
The Founding Family Membership covers up to 5 people living in the same household, and it delivers massive, guaranteed savings over our standard monthly rate. For a family of 5, that’s a savings of $199/year compared to a monthly family membership.
Best of all, you get every single perk our standard members receive, plus our exclusive founding rewards. Your annual membership automatically unlocks full access to all standard member benefits:
Unlimited Weekdays: Play from open to close, Tuesday through Friday!
Exclusive Member Time: Enjoy a quieter play block for one hour on Saturdays before we open to the general public.
Weekend Play: Enjoy 2 hours of standard open play every Saturday and Sunday. (On Saturdays, your Exclusive Member Time adds a bonus 3rd hour of play!)
Everyday Discounts: Save 20% at the cafe (excludes alcohol), 15% on special events, and 10% on retail shop items.
Major Birthday Discounts: Deeply discounted weekend birthday party packages (more info coming soon!)
Community & Fun: Exclusive invitations to member-only events and special seasonal events.
Because this tier is launching alongside our GoFundMe campaign, we’re stacking the everyday benefits with these exclusive, one-time rewards:
1-Year Membership: Full access for up to 5 household members with an annual renewal option. Note: While your payment is processed at the time of your GoFundMe pledge, your membership year doesn’t actually begin until the day of our Grand Opening!
VIP Soft-Opening Invitation: An exclusive early-access invite to experience the space before the general public.
Permanent Recognition: Your family’s name featured on our physical "Founding Supporters Wall" displayed right in the lobby, plus a digital thank-you.
Share the Play: A coupon for a free 2-hour family admission (up to 5 people) to gift to a friend.
Extra Party Credit: A $50 credit toward a future birthday party booking (valid for 2 years from time of opening) with first dibs on slots before we open to the public. Stack this right on top of your standard member party discount for extra savings!
How to Get Priority Access
Because this tier offers our lowest pricing and best perks ever, Founding Family Memberships are strictly limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
When our campaign goes live, our email community will receive exclusive early access to our GoFundMe to grab a Founding Membership before the link is opened to the public. Don’t miss your chance to save big and help us build Knightdale's ultimate STEAM-based play center from the ground up!
