I've Registered My Child For A Pre-K Membership. What Do I do Next?

1. PREPARE

Be sure to locate a valid proof of age. You must bring valid proof of age to complete the activation process. Physical and digital copies of original documents are accepted but must be legible. Valid proof of age documents include:

• Original or copy of a birth certificate
• Passport
• Adoption papers
• Green card

Plan for plenty of time to complete the activating process for your Free Pre-K Membership. Weekends and the extended Labor Day Weekend are popular days to visit. We recommend visiting during the week for shorter lines and an expedited process!

2. ACTIVATE!

Once you register your child for a Pre-K Membership, you must activate it for it to be valid. To activate, visit Newport Aquarium in person by Sunday, September 20, 2026 at 4:00pm. Visit any ticket window and provide your Pre-K Membership voucher along with proof of your child’s age.

Upon activation, Pre-K Members will receive their own Pre-K Membership card with photo.

3. ENJOY!

Once activated, your Pre-K kiddo will have instant, unlimited visits to Newport Aquarium all year-long! Pre-K Memberships are valid for one year from your in-person activation date.

NOTE FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS: General Admission tickets or Memberships are required for all guests accompanying Pre-K Members. A parent or guardian must accompany children at all times while in Newport Aquarium. Membership is your best value to visit with your Pre-K child as much as you want for a full year!
