Digital Membership Cards
You are helping us grow greener! Digital membership cards are issued to all Members and should be received for downloading on a mobile device within 24 hours of your membership purchase. Members who renew do not need a new download. More information on digital cards here. For those who received hard copy cards after February 2021, the barcode will always connect you to your membership account, you do not need a replacement when you renew. A fee of $7 each will be assessed for reprinting lost or misplaced cards during your 12 month membership cycle.
* Guest Passes are one-time use only and must be surrendered at the Guest Services Center. Passes cannot be replaced if lost, misplaced or stolen.
