ASTC Travel Passport Program

Sciencenter members receive free admission to more than 325 science museums worldwide through the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) Travel Passport Program.

Museums located within 90 miles of the Sciencenter are automatically excluded from the reciprocity program. (A 90-mile limit has been established by ASTC to prevent regular visits to nearby museums by people who may have purchased only one membership.)

Please check this list of participating science museums before you visit as museums opt in and out of ASTC membership annually.

Some Sciencenter membership privileges may not apply at other museums – please call ahead before visiting.
