The Value of Membership

February 23, 2021

Membership is a great value no matter how you look at it. Each level is priced so that the membership pays for itself in a few visits. Plus, members receive 12 months of valuable benefits.

Unlimited free admission is one of the best benefits. It gives you the chance to see your favorite animal friends as often as you wish. Check in regularly on the seals and sea lions, watch the penguins waddle around, or take in the calming sea jellies as they float by. And there’s no need to rush since you can come back whenever you want.

That’s not all! Members also receive discounts throughout the Aquarium. Get 50% off parking with membership parking vouchers (additional purchase). Or grab a few discounted guest tickets for your friends and family on your next visit. Members also receive discounts on most Aquarium events and experiences, just be sure to mention that you are a member when booking!

As a member, you receive a subscription to Pacific Currents, our member magazine that comes out three times a year, so you can keep up with animal news, fun for kids, conservation efforts, and our work in the community that makes you proud to be part of the Aquarium family.

The fun doesn’t stop there. Members receive invitations to special events. You’ll enjoy fun activities for members only and get an exclusive glimpse at the Aquarium without the general public around.

Above all, the greatest value of membership are the memories you’ll create. There’s nothing like experiencing the Aquarium through the eyes of a little one or watching the animals with that special someone. You can’t put a price on these treasured moments, and it’s what makes an Aquarium membership truly special.

Select a membership level that works best for you. Our most popular levels include the Family and Dual levels. Get an even greater value by joining at the Plus level and you’ll receive a transferable member card that allows you to bring one additional guest. This transferable card can be used for any guest visiting with your family like a babysitter, a nanny, or a grandparent.

Active members can get updates about membership via member emails or by visiting the Member Updates page.
