How do I get my discount at the Huntington Store?

The discount code is included in your Membership confirmation email. Sustaining-level Members receive a 10% discount, and all other Membership levels receive a 20% discount at the Huntington Store. Discounts cannot be applied retroactively.

Do you have reciprocity with any other museums, libraries, or botanical gardens? 

No. We do not have reciprocity with other museums, libraries, or botanical gardens.

Is my Membership tax deductible?

All Huntington Memberships are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Can I receive a refund for my Membership?

No. A Membership at The Huntington is a tax-deductible donation to the institution and, therefore, is not refundable.

What are the rules governing Membership?

Membership contributions are not refundable or transferable. Membership benefits may not be used for commercial purposes. Any unauthorized use may result in your Membership being revoked. Membership benefits may not be resold, exchanged, or transferred. All levels, benefits, and prices are subject to change.

By visiting or communicating with the Huntington, you agree to comply with our visitor policies. Any person not adhering to these policies while on-site may be asked to leave the premises.

How long does it take to receive my Membership cards, and can I visit without one?

You will receive a digital Membership card immediately when you join or renew online. Please allow three to five weeks for printed Membership cards. To replace a lost printed Membership card, contact the Membership office.

If you do not have your Membership card, you may visit by showing a valid photo ID when checking in.

How do I find my digital Membership card? And how do I add it to my Apple or Google Wallet?

Your Membership confirmation email has links to add a Membership card to a digital wallet. If you previously had your Membership card on your phone and you do not see the new one after adding it, you may need to remove the expired one first.

Follow the directions provided by Apple Support on how to add your card to your Apple Wallet.

Follow the directions provided by Google Support on how to add your card to your Google Wallet.

How do I request a youth entry card?

Members at the Affiliate level and above may request up to two youth entry cards by sending their name and birth date to the Membership office. Youth cardholders must be aged 13-17.

What should I do if my Membership card is lost or stolen?

To request a new printed Membership card, contact the Membership office. You will receive a replacement card in two to three weeks.

If you do not have your Membership card, you may visit by showing a valid photo ID when checking in.

Can I apply my paid admission to a Membership if I decide to join?

Yes! After visiting, you may apply up to $60 of your paid admission toward the cost of a Membership. This offer applies only to new Memberships and cannot be used to renew a Membership.

To redeem, contact us at membership@huntington.org or 626-405-2124 prior to purchasing.

Can I upgrade to a higher level of Membership?

If you are within 90 days of your Membership purchase or renewal, you can upgrade to a higher Membership level and pay the difference. Your new level and benefits will start right away, and your expiration date will remain the same.

If your Membership purchase or renewal was more than 90 days ago, you can upgrade to a higher Membership level through an early renewal. You’ll renew at the full price, and your new level benefits will start right away. You won’t lose any time on your Membership, as the new 12 months of Membership is added to your existing expiration date.

Do you offer any discounts on Memberships? 

We offer the following groups a $20 discount on any level of Membership:

  • Seniors (age 65+)
  • Educators (preschool through university-level faculty and administrators at an accredited school)
  • SNAP EBT cardholders

The person who qualifies for the discount must be a cardholder. Multiple discounts cannot be combined. To redeem, contact us at membership@huntington.org or 626-405-2124 prior to purchasing.

Can I pay for my Membership through a donor-advised fund?

The Huntington accepts gifts from donor-advised funds as payment for fully tax-deductible Membership levels only. If you have questions about the policies of your specific donor-advised fund, you may direct them to your fund advisor.

Please note that bifurcated payments are not accepted— a personal payment amount cannot be subtracted from the donor-advised fund grant amount.

On the memo line, note “for Membership” and direct donor-advised fund Membership payments to:

How do I reserve a ticket?

Ticket reservations can be made online. Enter your Membership ID and last name to log in, and select your desired event, date, and visit time before completing your order.

How do I visit as a Member?

All Members and visitors must pass through the bag check when they arrive. While in the Member admission line, have your reservation and ID ready to present when asked by a staff member.

Have your QR code or receipt handy when leaving the Education and Visitor Center to enter the Gardens.

When are reservations required? 

Reservations are required Friday through Sunday, on holidays, and during peak seasons. When not required, reservations are still encouraged for faster check-in.

If Member tickets are fully booked, please check back as tickets are made available when cancellations are processed. Members are encouraged to cancel unwanted reservations via the link in their reservation confirmation email.

Are reservations required for early entry?

Reservations for Early Entry (8 to 10 a.m.) are not required but may be fully booked on popular days. Reservations are encouraged for faster check-in.

May I bring a guest? How do I reserve their ticket?

Members may bring a guest in place of other cardholders who are not visiting that day; however, at least one Member cardholder must be present. The number of guests allowed depends on the Membership level. If you have additional guests, you must purchase admission for them.

To add guests to a reservation, select the Guest under Members Admission.

To add paid admission, put your Member tickets in the cart first, then add the paid admission tickets to your order.

Is there suggested reservation etiquette?

Admission reservations are limited daily to ensure an enjoyable experience for all visitors. Please book only the dates you plan to visit and cancel your reservation if you cannot attend. We recommend that you only make reservations for five separate dates at a time.

How do I cancel a reservation?

You can cancel your order by clicking on the cancellation link in your order confirmation email. Canceling your reservation frees up space for other Member households to visit.

Why are tickets sometimes available for the public but sold out for Members? 

While Members are allotted a majority of admission tickets each day, it’s important that we provide public access and an opportunity for the entire community to visit The Huntington.

Members are encouraged to book tickets a few days in advance when looking to visit on a weekend or during peak seasons.

If Member tickets are fully booked, please check back as tickets are made available when cancellations are processed.

Why is Member entry not permitted on Free Days?

Huntington is committed to making the institution as accessible as possible to as many visitors as possible, regardless of economic capacity. Therefore, one day each month is set aside for public access, and tickets are provided free of charge.

To maximize access to the public on the first Thursday of the month, Member visitation is not permitted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, early entry, from 8 to 10 a.m., is available to eligible Members.

When do guest tickets expire?

Guest tickets are valid for one year from the Membership purchase or renewal month. Guest tickets that do not note an expiration date do not expire and will continue to be accepted.

Are guest passes and guest tickets the same thing?

Yes, they are both one-time use, redeemable for general admission only, and may not be used for events or programs.

What should I do if my guest tickets are lost or stolen? 

The Huntington is unable to replace guest tickets. Guest tickets are mailed to you. Please keep them in a safe place.

Can I give my one-time use guest tickets away?

Yes. A Member does not need to be present to use a guest ticket. Each guest ticket is valid for admission to either one adult or one child.

How do I update my contact information?

The primary cardholder on your Membership can contact the Membership office to update cardholder contact information.

Will the secondary Member get their own Member account and receive Member emails?

At this time, Member communications and reservation confirmations will only be sent to the primary cardholder’s email address on file.

How can I name a cardholder?

To add or change a second or third cardholder’s name, contact the Membership office. Please note that named cardholders must reside in the same household.

Can I put my Membership on hold?

Memberships cannot be paused or put on hold. Your Membership starts when purchased.

Can someone else use my Membership?

No, Membership is non-transferable, and Membership cards can only be used by the named cardholders.

Membership contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Memberships are not refundable or transferable. Member benefits are for personal, non-commercial use only. Offers or discounts cannot be combined. Benefits and pricing are subject to change. Admission for Members, including during events, is not guaranteed and depends on ticket availability. Admission benefits vary from event entry policies. The Huntington reserves the right to refuse or revoke the admission or Membership of anyone whose conduct violates our visitor guidelines. Please allow three to five weeks for the processing of printed Membership cards and guest tickets. Reservations are required Friday–Sunday, on holidays, and during peak seasons.
