Be an ocean champion—gift a Seattle Aquarium membership

Support exceptional animal care, education and community outreach, and species and ecosystem conservation

GIVE THE GIFT OF MEMBERSHIP

A Seattle Aquarium membership is a gift of unforgettable experiences—that also helps to protect marine animals and Earth’s one ocean. A gift of membership helps ensure that current generations and those to come can learn about and marvel at the connected waters that sustain us all.

Two ways to give

With two options available, you can choose to gift a membership that starts on a date of choice (gift certificates), or starts at the time of purchase (gift memberships). For more details, read through the options below.

Gift certificate—starts when redeemed

Perfect when:

  • You’d like to give a traditional gift certificate.
  • You’d like to give the gift yourself, either in person or via email.
  • The membership should start when the recipient desires—such as after a birthday, holiday or other celebration.

Details:

  • Gift certificates are sent via email or by mail (please allow two to three business days for the gift certificate to be mailed).
  • No information about the recipient is required at the time of purchase.
  • The recipient will call, email or visit the Aquarium in person to activate their gift certificate.
  • After the membership is activated, the member will receive a welcome email and a digital membership card within one week.

Gift membership—starts when purchased

Perfect when:

  • The membership should start at the time of purchase.
  • You don’t need a traditional gift certificate email or card—you just want to share the order number with the recipient.

Details:

  • A gift membership starts upon purchase.
  • All recipient contact information is required at the time of checkout.
  • The recipient will receive a welcome email and a digital membership card within one week of the time of purchase.
