When does my Membership expire?
You can find your expiration date on your digital Membership card or by logging into your Membership account and accessing the Account Holder Information screen. 

How much does Membership cost?
We offer several different Membership levels depending on your family's needs. See all Membership levels, benefits and prices here.

Are Memberships tax deductible?
Per IRS regulations, all charitable organizations must provide a written disclosure statement concerning quid pro quo contributions over $75.00. Our good faith estimate of fair market value of this membership is equal to or greater than the cost of the membership. Therefore, no part of the membership is tax deductible. Please contact your tax advisor for further guidance. 

Can I apply my special event ticket price to the purchase of an Audubon Membership?
Only a certain number of General Admission tickets are eligible for a rebate towards the purchase of a Membership. Special event tickets are not eligible for rebates, such as Zoo to Do or Boo at the Zoo. Please speak to a Membership Associate for more details.
