We're Glad You're On Their Side

Our gratitude for your membership comes in waves. And tide pools. And kelp forests. And currents. There is so much to be discovered and explored and we want to share it all with you.

As a partner in our shared purpose to save marine wildlife, we will keep you current on all that is happening at the Aquarium. Here you will find all the information you need to enjoy your membership to the fullest: from conservation, habitats, and animal updates to exclusive events, promotions, and beyond!

A Membership For You. A Lifeline For Marine Life.

Every visit, every moment, every membership helps protect fragile marine ecosystems and inspire meaningful change.

And just as our habitats are constantly evolving to fit the needs of our flippered, feathered, and finned residents, so too must our membership offerings evolve to fit the needs of our most loyal guests.

So, whether your membership is driven by shared values, a curious child, or a desire to visit your favorite Aquarium resident again and again, your new Member benefits help you get the most out of every visit.
