How can I bring a guest when I visit?
Bringing a guest is easy! Complimentary guest admissions are linked to your Membership, so your guest may simply join you as a walk-in whenever you visit—no pass or advance planning needed. When you check in, our staff will apply a complimentary guest admission to your visit.
Would you like your guest to visit without you? We’re happy to arrange complimentary admission. Please call 718.549.3200 x 245 or email Membership@wavehill.org to reserve admission on your guest’s behalf.
We’ve also expanded the value of this benefit: complimentary guest admissions may now be used for premium events, including Mother’s Day, Sunset Wednesdays summer concerts, and Members-only events.
Complimentary guest admissions are valid through the end of your current Membership term, so be sure to share the Wave Hill experience before you renew.
How can I add a caregiver to my Membership, and how can they visit?
Please email Membership@wavehill.org to add a caregiver to your account. Once added, your caregiver may visit using a valid Membership card. The caregiver does not need to be named on your Membership.
How can I use my reciprocal benefits at other organizations?
Present your card at participating institutions as proof of Membership. Before visiting, please check with the partner organization for the most up-to-date information about its reciprocal admission policies.
