Questions
Can I purchase a Membership as a gift?
Yes! After selecting Join or Renew, select which Membership level you'd like to gift and then fill out your recipient's Card Information. We'll take care of the rest!
How long does it take to receive my Membership Card and can I visit without one?
Membership cards usually take 1-2 weeks to arrive by mail. International addresses may take longer. Members can always visit, shop, and join community events without their card. Check in at our Admissions Desk with your ID number or name.
