Membership FAQ

Membership benefits begin immediately after purchase, and can be used towards admission and other applicable benefits such as Gift Shop and program discounts.  For a full list of membership benefits, see table above.

If you are visiting an ASTC Partner facility and have not received your official Science Central membership cards yet, please present your confirmation email or receipt as proof of purchase.

Memberships expire at the end of the month, 12 months from the date purchased.

You will need to purchase an “Add-a-Guest” (Plus 1) for this benefit.

We can replace your cards for $10.  Alternatively, we can look up your membership at admissions to admit members.  If you are traveling and need proof of your membership, you can request that the museum’s admissions staff call us at (260) 424-2400 to confirm.  We cannot guarantee that the museum you’re visiting will do this.

Please contact us and we will get new cards to you at no cost.

Science Central is a proud member of the Association of Science – Technology Centers (ASTC). Our participation entitles Science Central members to receive free or discounted admission at over 360 participating ASTC science centers and museums around the US and the world!  Learn more

The MAP Membership gets Family Memberships at each of FOUR places, a 20% savings.

No, renewing your membership early doesn’t lose time. Your Membership renewal begins immediately after the present term.

Why Members Make A Difference

Science Central is a non-profit organization.  As a beloved part of the Fort Wayne community for over 25 years, Science Central is dedicated to providing science education and hands-on fun for communities across our region. We do not receive state or federal funds for our operating expenses. Instead, we rely on memberships, earned revenue, and charitable contributions to provide the support for engaging science learning.

What Your Membership Will Do

The financial support of a membership is more important than you realize. While you’re enjoying your member benefits such as free general admission, discounts on Science Central programs, special events, the ASTC Passport Program, and more, you’re also making it possible for Science Central to share the wonders of science through hands-on science education.  Your yearly membership makes what we do possible.  Renew today!
