Membership

We recommend the use of our California Reciprocity List for any institutions in California, as it accounts for geographical restrictions as well as independent agreements that CuriOdyssey has with some institutions in California.

A few things to remember when you travel:

• Please bring a photo ID and your CuriOdyssey membership card when visiting any of our reciprocal partners. The logo of the reciprocity program you intend to use should be clearly visible on the card.
  • Please note that some printed CuriOdyssey membership cards may use an older version of the ASTC logo that is invalid as proof of qualification. The card you display must clearly show the words "ASTC Passport Program" and not "ASTC" alone. Please contact our membership department for information about accessing your digital membership card with updated logos.
• The number of visitors admitted with your membership varies with each institution. Other features of their equivalent membership, such as store discounts and parking fees, may not be included with your admission.
• Lists are subject to change without notice. We recommend calling each facility prior to your visit to be sure of your reciprocal benefits with CuriOdyssey membership.

Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)

All CuriOdyssey members get access to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) reciprocity program. Please see the AZA Reciprocity Page to see the complete list of participating AZA institutions.

CuriOdyssey members receive a 50% discount at all of the zoos and aquariums on this list, except "Free TO PUBLIC" locations where CuriOdyssey members can receive different listed benefits.

Please note that not all AZA-accredited institutions participate in the AZA reciprocity program and only the institutions listed on the AZA Reciprocity Program website qualify for reciprocal benefits.

Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC)

All CuriOdyssey members get access to the Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC) Passport Program. Please see the ASTC Passport Program Page to see the complete list of participating ASTC institutions.

The ASTC Passport Program is restricted to locations outside of 90 miles of both your residence and of CuriOdyssey, however CuriOdyssey has made independent agreements with several local institutions to still honor reciprocity, so we recommend use of our California Reciprocity List to see what local institutions may qualify.

As of January 1, 2026, there are two types of benefits that members may receive:

• All CuriOdyssey membership levels except Individual Plus qualify as a "Group" membership under ASTC reciprocity, allowing a maximum of two adults and four children (including at least one cardholder) access to participating institutions.
• Individual Plus members qualify as an "Individual" membership under ASTC reciprocity, allowing one cardholder access to participating institutions.
• If you have a Super Guest Pass or an Explorer Pass, you still do not qualify for reciprocal admission at ASTC institutions.

ASTC's list of qualifying CuriOdyssey membership levels only shows our new membership structure levels (Discover, Create, Imagine, Lead, and Membership for All), but our previous levels (Individual, Individual Plus, Family, Family Plus, and MFA) all still qualify for reciprocity through the end of 2026.

To make sure you receive your reciprocity benefits, when visiting reciprocal institutions please be prepared to show a photo ID and your digital CuriOdyssey membership card, which has the ASTC Passport Program Logo (those words are in the logo itself). This logo is proof of your eligibility. Please note that physical membership cards which display an ASTC logo that does not contain the word “Passport” do not qualify as proof of reciprocity, so we recommend having a current digital card ready to present.

Reciprocal Organization of Associated Museums (ROAM)

Imagine, Lead, Family Plus, Advocate, Innovators Circle, and Director’s Circle members get access to the reciprocity program of the Reciprocal Organization of Associated Museums (ROAM). This benefit grants admission for at least one member and one guest at the host institution’s member general admission price, as well as member pricing in shop (if applicable). Please note that restrictions may apply to events, lectures, and exhibitions, or based on geographical proximity to CuriOdyssey.
