Members of at least one of these five major Corpus Christi educational and cultural attractions—Art Museum of South Texas, South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center, Corpus Christi Museum of Science & History, Texas State Aquarium, or USS Lexington Museum—get an extra mega membership benefit during the month of February only!
Current members of any of these local visitor destinations may enjoy half-price reciprocal admission at the other four, and 10 percent off in all five gift shops. The third bonus is a 10 percent discount on any new membership–throughout February only! (Be prepared to show your current membership card and photo identification at all facilities.)
The February attraction partnership is designed so area residents can explore their hometown visitor destinations as tourists do, but at substantial cost reductions, while supporting these non-profit educational and cultural facilities!
All five attractions regularly add, change, or update exhibits—so don’t assume you’ve already seen it all! (The reciprocal benefit applies only to those family members covered on the home membership category.)
