^^A Pacific Science Center membership allows you to visit any ASTC museum for free. There are two restrictions to this rule: 1) The museum must be at least 90 miles AWAY from Pacific Science Center’s address and 2) The museum must be at least 90 miles AWAY from your home address. Each ASTC Travel Passport Program participating institution may have its own rules and policies regarding use of this benefit and how many members qualify for free admission. We always recommend calling or emailing ahead of time to find out what kind of proof and ID these institutions require for admittance.

PacSci Ignite Luncheon

Date: May 13, 2025

Join more than 450 of the region’s business, philanthropic, and civic leaders at our PacSci Ignite Luncheon to raise critical support that will ignite curiosity in the innovators of tomorrow.

My support of PacSci is not only to give everyone a happy place to slow down … but also to interest youngsters to investigate the natural world around them. Even better if that experience leads them into interesting and rewarding STEM careers later in life. Don C., PacSci Igniter
