The guests do not have to be related to the “member” and can be children or adults. The maximum number of free admissions is determined by the membership chosen – starting with 2 free admissions per visit for the Member & 1 up to 8 free admissions per visit for the Member & 7. The membership selected defines the number of “free guests” the member may bring on any visit. Guests exceeding the allowed max per visit are $9.00 each.
