Member Updates

On behalf of our entire Aquarium family, thank you so much for your continued support. Here, you’ll find updates for our members.

Membership Card Update: In a conscious effort to live blue and reduce our plastic use, we are implementing a digital membership card and, for those who prefer a traditional “hard copy” membership card, are moving to one that is more environmentally friendly. The new printed cards use Certified Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) paper with soy ink and less plastic. Additionally, both the digital and hard copy cards will be faster to produce, which allows us to provide membership cards to new and renewing members in a more timely manner.

Visiting as a Member

Members gain immediate entry to the Aquarium after checking in at the Information Desk—no need to wait in the ticket scanning line.

Please note:

Because membership materials may take 4-6 weeks to arrive, if you would like to visit the Aquarium within 48 hours of becoming a member, we recommend first purchasing Aquarium tickets online and then applying the cost of the tickets towards your purchase of a membership onsite at the Information Desk (in the lobby) at the end of your visit.

If the admission/ticket credit is not completed onsite, visitors can apply the cost towards a membership via phone up to 3 days following the ticket date by calling our Reservations Department at 617-973-5206.
