AZA and ASTC Combo Membership!
If you have ever checked out reciprocal membership for ASTC (Science and Technology Centers) and AZA (Zoos), you know that many zoos and museums honor memberships of others. They generally run around $60 per family per year.
However, I’ve found two memberships that get you both ASTC and AZA memberships in one!
Happy Hollow Park and Zoo (San Jose) and Boonshoft (Dayton).
To see what other organizations reciprocate their memberships, look at the ASTC list and the AZA list. Note too, that you may be better off getting a membership at somewhere that is not close to you, because there is a 90 mile recriprocity exception that allows local museums / zoos to not honor each other’s memberships (it’s a competition thing).
I just bought the Happy Hollow membership today, and will be going to Fort Waynze Zoo soon!

At ASTC, we encourage families to support their local science centers and museums, and use the Travel Passport Program benefit when traveling outside their hometown. Admissions staff at Passport Program sites are aware of “bargain shoppers” and will take measures to stop the abuse of the program’s intent. –ASTC Membership Director
