FAQ

Which Pennsylvania museums take NARM?

Notable NARM participants in Pennsylvania include Philadelphia Zoo (via History Center context) -- Museum of the American Revolution, The Rosenbach Museum & Library, Woodmere Art Museum, The Frick Pittsburgh, Mattress Factory — a sample from the official roster; our map holds 60 Pennsylvania rows in total. Your home membership must be at a NARM-qualifying level.

Does the ASTC 90-mile rule apply in Pennsylvania?

Yes, everywhere: ASTC reciprocity only works when the science center you're visiting is 90+ miles from both your home science center and your home address — so Children's Museum of Pittsburgh is free for traveling members but not for locals. The lookup tool computes it for your ZIP.
