Your Membership Means More
Your membership is more than a ticket into the Aquarium. Your dues help fund our recovery from COVID-19 and help sustain our work to connect people to water, wildlife and wild places. Members enjoy unlimited visits plus exclusive benefits and invitations to exciting programs and events year-round! Plus, membership pays for itself in just two visits!
Current Members: Reserve tickets, see upcoming events and more!
In order to provide the best and safest experience for guests and staff, there are a limited amount of both general admission tickets and member reservations available per hour. Weekends and holidays fill up quickly. We suggest buying tickets and making reservations in advance!
