ASTC Reciprocal Program.
If you are a member of a science center or museum participating in the ASTC Travel Passport Program, you may be eligible for free general admission for up to 2 adults and 2 children (3-17) in the same household when you visit MOXI. Children under 2 are always free. This offer is only redeemable onsite at MOXI and is subject to capacity restrictions. If you want to guarantee admission on your desired date and time, please purchase tickets in advance here and we will refund the cost at check-in upon request, or email your reservation number and a copy of your Membership card, at least 3 days prior to your visit, to members@moxi.org
To be eligible for free admission via the ASTC Travel Passport Program, you must live outside a 90-mile radius from MOXI and the museum where you hold your Membership must also be outside a 90-mile radius from MOXI. This distance is measured “as the crow flies,” meaning it is based on a linear radius, not driving distance.
For instance, members of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History are not eligible for free admission to MOXI via the ASTC Travel Passport Program because it is within a 90-mile radius of MOXI.
These policies are set by and agreed to by all participants in the ASTC Travel Passport Program. Full details on the program and list of participating museums is available here.
