* The ASTC Passport Program is a reciprocal admission program that offers a travel benefit to members at more than 350 participating science centers and museums. This benefit is not always valid for admission to organizations within 90 miles of either your home residence or the science center or museum that you belong to. This distance is measured as a linear radius, not driving distance. Check the ASTC Passport Program Participant List to check the policy of the institution you would like to visit.
