Membership

Please see the list of participating institutions at the ASTC and AZA websites. It is best to contact the participating institution before visiting to find out how it will honor your CuriOdyssey membership. For example, although membership covers museum admission for all children or grandchildren under 18 in one household, another institution might limit the number of admissions. Please also note any geographical proximity restrictions. CuriOdyssey is not responsible for the current accuracy of the information provided by these websites.

Each replacement card is $5.00. Please call or mail payment to CuriOdyssey with the name on the card that is to be replaced. If the card is for an additional Member on the account, for example, grandparent or nanny, please clearly state the name of the primary Member on the account. We will not be able to process the replacement card without this additional information. New cards can be issued in person from the Guest Services Desk, for a $5.00 replacement fee. Please note that the park gate may require a car entrance fee without proof of membership.

The vehicle entrance fee is paid directly to and directly supports the county park. To receive the benefit of free parking while visiting CuriOdyssey, Members must present a current membership card and valid parking pass to the Ranger at the gatehouse, and then display the parking pass on their vehicle’s dashboard. The Coyote Point Park Gatehouse does not keep a list of active museum Members.

Mail, fax, email, or phone the new and previous address to the museum. If possible, please enter your new contact information and previous address on a membership application form.

Membership cards are only distributed to the named adults on the membership.  Depending on the amount of your donation, there can be two to three named adults.  Organizational memberships are not available at this time.

If you have a Family level membership or higher, your children are always covered under your membership, so your membership card will allow free admission for them. Any guests they bring will receive a $4 discount on regular daily admission (up to 4 tickets).

Membership cards are non-transferable.  You may purchase a membership that allows more named adults (Director's Circle levels), or a membership that includes guests every time you or your children visit (Family Plus, Advocate and Innovators Circle levels).

Admission applies only to the named cardholders on the membership card.

Membership For All memberships are an extension of our participation in the Museums for All program. All members included on an MFA membership must live in the same household and all must qualify for Golden State Advantage/SNAP/CalFresh, WIC, Medicaid, Medi-Cal, Healthy Families or Kaiser Cares for Kids.

Please bring proof of participation in at least one of the above programs along with a photo ID to the front entrance to apply for this membership.
