​The Association of Science & Technology Centers (ASTC) Passport Program

Great Lakes Science Center Members

The Passport Program provides free or discounted general admission to more than 360 museums 90 miles or more from Great Lakes Science Center and your residence.

Important Guidelines:

Each institution determines the admissions benefits that they offer free or discounted.  Organizations can modify these at any time, so review the information below before you visit.

1)  Call first 
To ensure you may utilize the benefits and to clarify what the specific museum offers, always call first.

2) Bring your Great Lakes Science Center membership card 
Museums not only check IDs, but require a valid membership card be presented upon arrival to verify your membership status. If you have misplaced your membership card, please contact the membership department prior to your visit to a reciprocating museum to avoid having to pay for admission.

3) Review the list of participating museums 
The complete list of participating museums, along with a brief description of benefits and contact information, can be found here. The list is updated bi-annually, so please be sure to check this link before each visit.
