With 4 ASTC centers in Utah, there are 6 center-to-center pairs; 6 are closer than 90 miles, and for those the passport is worthless. The closest pair: Clark Planetarium and Natural History Museum of Utah, 10 miles apart. The farthest: Hutchings Museum and Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter at 29 miles, still inside it. Both legs count: your home science center and your home address each have to be 90+ miles away. How the ASTC rule works.
3 institutions in Utah sit on multiple rosters, which makes them the safest bets for a reciprocal visit: Discovery Gateway Children's Museum (Museums for All + ACM); Natural History Museum of Utah (ASTC Passport Program + Museums for All); St. George Children's Museum (Museums for All + ACM).
