Admission to the Maryland Science Center includes three floors of exhibits. The Davis Planetarium is included with your admission, however there are specific showtimes and all shows are on a first come, first seated basis.
We strongly encourage you to purchase your tickets in advance and have waived our online service fees. Admission is valid for all day. You may arrive at any time during open hours.
***If you are joining a school group, do not purchase general admission tickets online, please report to the Group Check-in Desk to purchase your discounted admission ticket. You will be allowed to purchase your ticket once your school group checks-in.***
Note to Members: When reserving member exhibit tickets, you should not be asked to enter any payment information unless visiting with more patrons than your current level admits free per day. If you are showing a balance due, please double check your membership level (you can upgrade at our ticket desk), ensure you are active, registered and signed in. The links to sign in/register are located at the upper right corner of this page. The price of your member exhibit tickets will revert to $0 when added to the cart when signed in or registered with the primary email associated with your active membership. Use the Member Adult and Member Child (3-12 yo) row options - the last two rows of the ticket ordering grid. All children under three years old are free and do not count toward your daily member admits. Member priced IMAX tickets are sold in person on the day of your visit.
To reserve free member exhibit tickets, membership must be active. Expired members need to renew online or at the ticket desk before reserving free exhibit member tickets.
Visitors utilizing ASTC Passport Program benefits must show a valid, visiting member card in person at the ticket desk. Apologies, these reciprocal member exhibit tickets cannot be reserved in advance.
