Please note:

  • One named member MUST be present to use your Premier Membership.
  • We do not currently participate in the ASTC Passport program, any reciprocal admission program, or any “show your card and save” program such as AAA or AARP.

We believe our exhibits are among the best in the industry and Connecticut Science Center membership and admission provide great value. Participating in reciprocal membership programs would negatively impact our financial status, and diminish our ability to provide consistently positive experiences for our members and visitors.

The Connecticut Science Center is a non-profit organization. Your ticket purchases, as well as income from the Gift Shop and Cafe go directly to supporting the Science Center's educational mission. Thank you for your support!

Payment Options

We accept cash, Travelers Checks, VISA, Master Card, and American Express credit cards for all on-site purchases. An ATM is conveniently located in the Lobby Level of the Science Center. All ticket sales are final. No refunds or exchanges.
