South Dakota has 2 ASTC science centers on the map, forming 1 possible pairs — and 0 of those pairs sit inside 90 miles of each other, so members of one can't use the other. The closest pair: Family or Grandparent Membership, Expanded Family South Dakota Discovery Center and Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science, 190 miles apart. The farthest: Family or Grandparent Membership, Expanded Family South Dakota Discovery Center and Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science at 190 miles, which does clear the rule. Both legs count: your home science center and your home address each have to be 90+ miles away. How the ASTC rule works.
