Digital Membership Cards
You are helping us grow greener! While you will be able to print your membership card, digital membership cards are issued to all Members. They are delivered via email and can be downloaded to your device wallet or downloaded on your computer for printing later.
For those who received hard copy cards already, you do not need a replacement of that card when you renew. The barcode on the back will always connect to your membership account. The Guest Access card is only mailed once to new Deluxe level and above members and can be used for any third adult that wants to visit for unlimited days while your membership is active.
Guest passes (additional one-time adult admission passes) are redeemed onsite and not online. Please look at your membership level to see how many you have to redeem. If you want physical passes please contact membership@scbgf.org. You can also call the mainline at 424-452-0920 for further questions.
