Other ways in, no calendar required

There's also Museums for All — show a SNAP EBT card and photo ID at any of 1,700+ participating institutions and up to four people pay $5 or less, every normal operating day. Whether Adventure Science Center participates is on the official roster.
Science-center members from 90+ miles away may get in on the ASTC Travel Passport — the 90-mile rule is the catch, and our reciprocity lookup computes it for your ZIP.

Dates don't line up?
