Do you offer discounted membership for seniors, veterans, students, or active-duty military?
There are no discounts on memberships. However, seniors, veterans, and students receive discounted daily admission to the museum and most festivals. In addition, El Rancho de Las Golondrinas participates in the Blue Star Museum program which grants free admission to those currently serving in the United States Military and their family members. Valid Military ID is required.
How long does my membership last?
Your membership is active at the time of purchase and valid for 12 full calendar months after the purchase date. For example, if you purchase your membership on September 15, 2025, it will expire on September 30, 2026.
How do I reserve my member tickets for festivals?
As a member benefit, members get free or discounted admission to all festival weekends. However, you must reserve your tickets online in advance on HoldMyTicket.com. New in 2025, members will need a special promo code to access tickets. Contact our Membership Department for assistance.
Can members attend sold-out festivals if we didn’t reserve tickets online?
Because space and parking are limited at our festivals, we encourage members to plan ahead and reserve their tickets early. If you were not able to reserve tickets before the festival sold out, please contact [email protected] to inquire about additional member tickets.
When will my membership card arrive?
Membership cards will be mailed between 5-10 business days.
As a member, can I bring other guests to the museum for free?
Starting at the Individual PLUS and Family PLUS levels, your membership benefits include guest passes! PLUS members receive two guest passes, while Patron Level members receive four guest passes. These passes can be used for daily admission or festival admission (excluding Wine Festival and Renaissance Faire).
How many names can I have on my membership?
Individual and Individual PLUS levels allow one adult per membership. Family, Family PLUS, and higher levels allow two adults per membership, and all children/grandchildren under 18. Child names are not required for the membership.
Can I give my membership card to someone else?
Memberships are non-transferable. Membership can only be used by the person listed on the membership card.
How do I get a replacement membership card?
If your card was lost or stolen, please contact [email protected] for a replacement card.
Can I visit without my membership card?
Please present a valid photo ID when you visit during normal hours of operation.
Do you have digital membership cards?

Can I cancel my membership?
Memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable.
What is the NARM benefit?
