At the Maryland Science Center, all Maryland schools visit for FREE!
Science Beyond the Classroom, Powered by Constellation provides free admission to all Maryland students, teachers and chaperones who visit the Science Center on field trips. At the Science Center, our hands-on exhibits form the core of our educational initiatives and are the foundation of our school enrichment programs. Our three exhibit floors provide unique learning experiences that can’t be recreated in the classroom. All Maryland schools can explore our general exhibits for FREE (non-Maryland schools for a discounted rate). Free admission support is also provided by the Maryland Department of Education, The Kahlert Foundation, Transamerica Foundation, Delaplaine Foundation, The John J. Leidy Foundation, Goldsmith Family Foundation, and our generous donors.
