What are the benefits of becoming a Maryland Science Center Member?
We would enjoy having your support and we know you’ll enjoy visiting our museum for free! To review our member benefits, please click here.

What are the prices for your memberships?
Member benefits are the same across the board but our Membership Levels vary in price as they include more people. They range from $50 for the individual Explorer Level to $225.00 for the Pioneer +2 Level for 10 admits. To learn more about our level and prices, please click here.

Do you have a “Family” Membership?
Our Membership Levels are based on the number of people in your group. We don’t label our memberships as Individual, Family, Grandparent, etc. because you can visit the museum with friends and neighbors. When you purchase a membership it is for you and/or your spouse/domestic partner to use exclusively. Member benefits are non-transferable. You choose the level that best fits your group size. Anyone over your level will pay full price to enter the museum. Children under the age of three are free of charge.

Does Maryland Science Center Membership cover guests?
The membership level you choose allows a set number of people, including the cardholder, into the museum at the member rate. Explorer – 1; Voyager – 2; Adventurer – 4; Discoverer – 6; Discoverer +1 – 7; Pioneer – 8; Pioneer +1 – 9; Pioneer +2 – 10. Any person over your level will pay full priced admission.

Do I list everyone on my membership and how many cards will I be receiving?
The only people we list on a membership account are the primary cardholder and that person’s spouse or domestic partner. We mail one member card out per membership. Your card will reflect the level and total number of admits allowed on that membership level.

Can I list my caregiver/aupair/nanny on the membership?
We do not list these individuals on the membership account. Your caregiver/aupair/nanny can visit the Maryland Science Center under your membership but s/he must present your member card and a note authorizing use of your membership for that day.

Is the KIDS Room or Planetarium included in my Membership?
All Membership Levels allow free admission into our permanent exhibit galleries. These include the Planetarium, Observatory, KIDS Room and Dinosaur Mysteries.

Is IMAX included with my Membership?
Members enjoy a reduce rate to see our regular and premium IMAX Films. Current Member pricing for regular IMAX films is $4.00 per member adult or child.
