- Join the ASTC Science Museum Membership. This membership allows you to visit Science Museums across the country using the reciprocal membership. Just make sure the museum you are visiting is not within 90 miles of your residence or your “home museum”.
My children can spend all day at Science Museums. Most have hands on exhibits, changing exhibits, aquariums, climbing structures, rides, planetariums, etc.
