How does a gift of membership work?
When you purchase a gift membership online, you’ll receive a Gift Membership code by email. You may forward this email to your gift recipient or share it another way. You can request a pdf gift certificate you can print at home by emailing members@discoveryplace.org. Your gift recipient will activate their own Membership, no need to worry about it starting too soon! Please note that gift redemption codes expire 3 months after date of purchase.
When does the gift membership start?
Gift memberships begin the day the gift recipient activates them! Gift redemption codes expire 3 months after the date of purchase.
What information about the recipient do I need to give a gift membership?
None! We will send you an email with an activation code that you can forward to or print for your gift recipient. When they activate the Membership, they will enter their own details.
How long is a Membership active?
Once activated, Membership is valid for 12 months. Regardless of what day of the month a membership is activated, it expires on the last day of that month one year later. For example, if your recipient activates their membership on February 5, 2024, it will expire on February 28, 2025.
Do you have a gift certificate I can send my loved one?
Please request a gift certificate you can print at home at members@discoveryplace.org. Note that we do require processing time, so allow at least 24 hours for email delivery. You may also request a printed certificate that you can pick up in person at Discovery Place Science Membership Desk (on Level 3) through Friday 12/22/2023. All requests must be received by 5pm 12/21/2023 for pick up Friday 12/22/2023 between noon and 4:30pm. Due to holiday mailing deadlines, we cannot guarantee a printed certificate mailed from Discovery Place will reach you before the holidays.
