How to Choose the Right Membership Level for You
The Texas State Aquarium has a flexible "Party of" Membership program which gives members the option of bringing guests.
To select the "Party of" level best for you, first decide who you want listed as a member on your card. At least one listed member must bring the card and a photo ID for admission. When you list a person's name on the card, that "party" slot is now designated for that member and cannot be used for a guest. Next, decide how many additional "guests" you would like to bring. "Guests" can be your child, a friend, or family. Each additional "party" slot you purchase allows you to bring one person.
Let's say you purchase a "Party of Four." You list yourself and your spouse on the card (that's two members). You leave two slots open and can bring two people (+2) each time you visit (2 + 2 = 4!) If either member decides to come alone, you still have just two "guest" slots.
Any level of membership is less expensive than bringing that number of people to the Aquarium two times.
