Since our parks are major tourist destinations in New York City and are visited by over 4 million people annually we would end up losing much needed revenue from admissions that we rely on for our operating budget. Plus, with over 100,000 member households, our members visiting other parks could deprive them of vital attendance revenue. I ve already renewed my WCS membership, but I continue to receive renewal notices. If you have recently renewed your WCS membership, please disregard any further renewal notices. Although we work to process renewals as quickly as possible, there is the chance that you may receive a second notice before your payment has been processed and entered into our system.
Memberships are non-transferable.
To ensure that membership privileges are not abused, we ask that members present a valid ID along with their membership card upon entrance when they visit one of our parks. WCS is a nonprofit organization and we rely on membership and attendance for much of our support. If memberships were shared our revenue would be reduced drastically. Showing another ID at the entrance gate also protects our members should their cards be lost or stolen. A guest must accompany the named adult on the card and cannot enjoy membership benefits without the named adult.
