Free Admission For All Maryland Students
For over forty years any Maryland school student visiting the Science Center on a school field trip has been admitted free of charge. For many Marylanders, a field trip to the Science Center is a familiar rite of passage. Due to Covid-19 and online learning, there are few, if any, opportunities for schools to visit on a field trip. But we do not want students to miss their chance to visit our educational exhibits and be a part of our signature brand of science education.
Beginning this winter, all Maryland students will be admitted free of charge on any day we are open. Free admission is granted to any Maryland student (Pre-K – 12), including public, private and homeschool, showing proof of residency. Students can visit with friends or family, they do not have to be part of a school group. To receive free admission you must sign up using the button below.
FREE ADMISSION IS FOR STUDENTS PRE-K – 12TH GRADE ONLY.
