Refunds are determined based on length of time left on membership and remaining monetary value. A membership with at least six months before expiration can be considered for a refund or exchange. The refund amount will be calculated by the original purchase price minus the face value of any admissions used during the membership period. Most memberships pay for themselves after the second visit, making all subsequent visits free for members. Once the value of the membership is reached through admissions, there is no monetary value remaining and a refund or exchange cannot be processed.
