Arizona has 5 ASTC science centers on the map, forming 10 possible pairs — and 4 of those pairs sit inside 90 miles of each other, so members of one can't use the other. Nearest neighbors are Arizona Museum of Natural History and Arizona Science Center (13 mi); the widest gap, 221 mi, separates Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium from bership, Dual Plus Membership, Insider Plus Membership, VIP Lowell Observatory — far enough to qualify. It's measured twice — from your home science center and from your home address — in straight-line miles. How the ASTC rule works.
