When using your membership card, one of the named adults on the card must be present for admittance.

Note: Please allow a minimum of 3 to 7 days for processing memberships purchased online, and a minimum of 2 weeks for memberships purchased by mail or at the Membership Sales Window.
If you purchase a membership online, please print your confirmation receipt. Your receipt can be used as your temporary membership card for free parking and admission until your permanent membership card arrives.
