If you are a member here

A membership to The State Museum of Pennsylvania carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

  • the full ASTC Passport Program list Science centers and science museums. Not valid within 90 miles of here.
  • the full Time Travelers list History museums, historical societies and heritage sites

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
