Membership

Members are required to make reservations Friday through Sunday, on holidays, and during peak seasons. Advance tickets are not required Monday through Thursday, but encouraged for faster check-in. Reservations are not required for upper-level Member early entry.

Ticket reservations can be made at any time on our website. If Member tickets are fully booked, please check back as tickets are made available when cancellations are processed. Members can self-cancel reservations via the cancellation link in the reservation confirmation email.

To maximize access to the public on Free Day, the first Thursday of every month, Member visitation is not permitted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on these days. Upper-level early entry is available to eligible Members from 8 to 10 a.m.

Upper-level Member early-entry advance tickets (8 to 10 a.m.) are not required, but encouraged for faster check-in.

The Huntington can be a popular place to visit on weekends and during busy holiday seasons. Managing capacity on these days via reservations ensures that Members and the public have the best possible experience during their visit.

While we prioritize Member visits and provide our Members with the majority of weekend and Monday holiday access, we do allocate a portion of our tickets for public access.

To maximize access to the public on Free Day, the first Thursday of every month, Member visitation is not permitted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on these days. Upper-level early entry is available to eligible Members from 8 to 10 a.m.

The Huntington is committed to making the institution as accessible to as many people as possible regardless of economic capacity. Therefore, one day each month is set aside to provide for maximum public access, providing tickets free of charge.

Visit our reservation page, enter your Membership ID and last name for verification, and select your desired event, date, and visit time before completing your order.

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

You can rebook another available date and time through the reservation process.

You will not be able to enter more tickets than are currently available.

Sustaining, Contributor, and Affiliate Members will be issued digital Membership cards via an email order confirmation. Supporting, Patron, and Benefactor Members can expect to receive physical Membership cards, in addition to a digital card, four to six weeks after their contribution is received.

Supporting level and higher can receive two youth entry cards for children ages 13 to 18. Supporting, Patron, and Benefactor levels receive an additional adult entry card.

Your Huntington Membership does not grant reciprocal admission privileges at any other museums, libraries, or botanical gardens. Inversely, The Huntington does not accept reciprocal admission benefits from other cultural institutions.

All Huntington Memberships are tax deductible as allowed by law.

No, Gift Memberships received as part of the holiday Membership upgrade/renewal or join appeals are not valid for renewal of your own household account or that of any other current Member household.

You may request a replacement by emailing membership@huntington.org, or stop by the Member center on your next visit. You will receive a digital card or a physical replacement card within two to three weeks, depending on your level. You may visit The Huntington in the meantime by presenting your photo ID at Admissions.

By joining at the Supporting, Patron, or Benefactor level, you may designate a third person for an entry card on the Membership. This person may be a family member, nanny, caregiver, or anyone of your choice. Entry card holders do not receive event benefits but do receive discounts for the Huntington Store, 1919 Cafe, and Red Car coffee shop. You may also give your guest passes to your nanny or caregiver to use for a one-time entrance, or give them the gift of a Sustaining Membership.

Membership cards are nontransferable, so you would need to buy a Supporting, Patron, or Benefactor Membership that allows you to add an extra cardholder, or give the grandparents your one-time-use guest passes. Your Membership always covers admission for your children ages 18 and under.

Yes. We require that at least one person named on the Membership be present with a photo ID. For example, if you and your second cardholder are listed on your Huntington Membership, you may bring someone else in place of the second cardholder (but you may not give your card to someone else to come on their own). To verify how many people are covered under your Membership category, see Membership Levels or call 626-405-2124.

Newly elected Membership benefits begin immediately upon renewal receipt and processing.

As a Huntington Member, you will receive our weekly e-newsletter, Member announcements, and all eligible event and program invitations. To be added to our email list, please contact us at membership@huntington.org. All events and exhibitions may be found on the Calendar.

Guest passes are valid for one year from Membership purchase or renewal month, or valid for two years from purchase or renewal month of two-year Memberships. Guest passes received prior to May 2019 that do not note an expiration date do not expire and will continue to be accepted.

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

Yes. You do not have to accompany your guests to The Huntington, and each guest pass is valid for either one adult or one child admission.
