Members receive 12 guest passes each year. Each pass allows you to bring one non-member to the Y, free of charge. They’re great to share when family or friends are visiting, when you’re hosting a play-date, or when you want to try something new and need a friend there for support. Guest passes expire on December 31 each year.

 

Tips for Using a Guest Pass

1. Create an Online Account

Save time and have your guest create an online account prior to their visit. If your guest does not have an account, we’ll ask them to do this step in-person.

  • Guests 18 and younger: A parent or guardian must provide contact information in case of emergency. This can be done by creating an account and adding the child or teen as a family member. During account creation, there will be a prompt to add family members, or they can be added afterwards by updating family member contact information.

2. Sign Waivers

During account creation, your guest will be prompted to sign our waiver of liability. Use these instructions to save time by signing it before visiting.

3. Bring the Essentials

Make sure your guest brings a photo ID because it is required for entry. We also recommend bringing a towel and water bottle if needed.

 

Enjoy Your Visit!

That’s all the prep you need. When you arrive at the Y, let staff know you’re checking in with a guest and we’ll take it from there. Once you’re checked-in, you and your guest can use all areas of the facility provided you stick together.

  • Guests 14 and younger: We require anyone younger than 14 to be accompanied by a supervising individual for the duration of their visit. Supervising individuals can be 14 or older. Learn more about age guidelines >

Thanks for sharing our Y community with your guest. We look forward to seeing you soon!
