Sound too good to be true? It's legit--really. We love this program so much we've been taking advantage of it for the last 12 years.

Here's how it works: Buy a membership at a science center, preferably one near your home so you can visit it several times throughout the year. This gives you free admission for one year, not only to that museum, but also to 250 science centers and museums around the world.
For example, I buy a family membership at the Science Museum of Virginia which is located in Richmond. Cost: $95 which includes four free IMAX tickets and four guest tickets (worth well over $100). We visit the museum at no charge a few times a year.
PLUS, we use our membership to visit seven other science museums (here or in other states...California, Florida, New York, you name it) this year for free.
We're going to visit Bermuda this summer, and guess what? Our ASTC Passport Program card will even get us into a museum for free there too!
Over the course of a year, we could easily save $200-$300 by taking advantage of the passport program. The more museums you visit, and the more times you go, the more you save.

| There's always something fun to do at the Science Museum of Virginia. |
For example, when we lived in Michigan, we really loved the fantastic science museum in Toledo, whereas the science museum in Detroit was only so-so. But the Toledo museum had a higher membership fee, so we bought our membership at the Detroit museum instead.
