When you join or gift a membership to The Nat, you’re helping keep nature healthy in Southern California and the Baja California Peninsula. Along with giving you unlimited admission, guest passes, and invites to member-only events, your membership helps us do important conservation work and connect more people to nature, so we can all preserve this amazing place we call home.
As we begin construction on parts of our building (learn more), we've arranged for additional membership benefits throughout the Park!
