The Maryland Science Center's Reciprocal Admission Policy:

The Maryland Science Center welcomes members from participating ASTC Passport Program institutions.  Reciprocal admission through this program is an important benefit of membership.  Unfortunately, growth in the program and the ability to make online membership purchases at institutions throughout North America has led to practices that undermine the original intent of the program.  Abuse of the program hurts everyone. The Maryland Science Center reserves the right to restrict or deny reciprocal admission to holders of certain ASTC Passport Program Participant Memberships.  Current restricted museums include the American Museum of Science and Energy located in Oak Ridge, TN, Happy Hollow Park and Zoo located in San Jose, CA and the Anniston Museum of Natural History located in Anniston, AL.  If you are denied reciprocal admission because you are a member of one of these institutions please contact the membership office at that institution to resolve any issues related to our policy. In addition, our current policy for our approved ASTC Participants is limited to 4 permanent exhibit gallery admits (adult or child).  Visiting Members MUST present their visiting member card to be considered.  Sorry, there can be no exceptions.

Memberships can be purchased in person at our Ticket Desk, On-Line, via Fax or USPS.
