We evaluate and issue membership refunds on a case by case basis; we do not provide partial refunds. Memberships are only eligible for refund consideration in the case that it has not been used since it was purchased or renewed and less than 60 days have passed since the date of the transaction. We do not issue refunds for gift memberships or due to account inactivity.

Membership automatic renewal is opt-in at the time of initial purchase. CuriOdyssey does not impose contracts on our members, and members are free to cancel their membership at any time. Please email [email protected] to check if you have auto-renew enabled. Membership for All memberships are not eligible for auto-renewal.

Proper notice is required to disable automatic membership renewal and members can submit cancellation requests via phone, in person or writing via this form. If auto-renewal is disabled, your current membership shall remain valid until the end of it's current term.

Memberships are prepaid and operate on a yearly-basis. The membership cycle begins the day the member joins and, if auto-renewal is enabled, will renew automatically every year for a subsequent period of the same length as the initial term (term length of 1, 2 or 3 years as determined by member). The recurring charges that will be charged to the members credit or debit card are subject to change with proper notification.

Memberships do not automatically cancel due to inactivity. Members must provide notice to stop their membership from automatically renewing.

Membership auto-renewal payments are processed at the beginning of the expiration date for your current term (typically the last day of the relevant month). If members request to cancel auto-renewal is given after 5pm on the day before your current term's expiration, your membership charge will go through but will be refunded within 3 days.

It is the responsibility of the member to bring any billing discrepancies to CuriOdyssey’s attention within 60 days after they first appear on financial statements. After 60 days, the member’s right to dispute any discrepancies is waived.

Membership for All Memberships may be applied for online or in-person, and application approval may take up to 10-15 business days. Applicant must qualify under the specifications on our Museums for All webpage. Applicants must provide documentation of their participation in a qualifying program, or if qualifying using income applicant must certify that they are able to provide proof of income if requested.

CuriOdyssey members are allowed to park in the three lots nearest to us when they are visiting, marked in yellow on the park map linked here. Members must pay the Coyote Point vehicle fee if they are not visiting CuriOdyssey, are visiting on a day or time we are closed, or are in an undesignated lot. You will be asked to pay for parking unless you show both a membership card and a parking permit to the ranger at the gate. If there is no ranger present, you may drive through.

If you are interested in access to all Coyote Point parking areas, as well as six other San Mateo County Parks, you may be interested in a San Mateo County Park Pass.

As a member of CuriOdyssey, you can receive free or discounted admission at other science and wildlife centers. For more information about reciprocity, please visit https://curiodyssey.org/membership/reciprocal-program/.
