Complimentary tickets for accredited museums, zoos, and aquariums

Staff members from zoos and aquariums accredited by AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums) and museums accredited by AAM (Alliance of Museums) are eligible for complimentary access to the Aquarium, including admission for one guest. To claim this benefit, staff must present a valid employee ID with a matching photo ID at the main entrance. While there’s no limit on the number of visits, any additional guests beyond the employee and their plus-one guest will need to purchase standard admission tickets. This offer is exclusive to accredited museums, zoos, and aquarium staff members and is not available to individual AZA members.
