Not all AZA-accredited institutions participate, so be sure to check the reciprocity list you receive with your membership and if unsure about available discounts, call the destination institution BEFORE you visit. Membership contacts and phone numbers are listed next to the discount for each facility. Keep in mind, most membership offices are only open on weekdays.
