Buy an annual family membership to one sci-tech center or museum, and get FREE reciprocal admission to 14 other sci-tech centers and museums across Texas!   

The Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC) program is for science and technology centers across the United States, and there are 15 that participate in the Travel Passport Program in Texas.  This is a great way to explore Texas history and culture, fossils, hands-on science, animatronic dinosaurs, giant telescopes, art installations, butterfly houses, live animals, and so much more!

Find out more about the ASTC program at https://www.astc.org/passport/.  Science centers within 90 miles of where you membership or your residence are located are excluded.  Each center will have their own requirements and restrictions, so call in advance to get the details on free admission.   Inquire about the science center or museum’s family admittance policy.  You must bring your ID and current science or museum membership since each sci-tech center will not be able to look up your account with a different center.
