Walk-up Admission for Members Only
With the loosened capacity restrictions in New York State, we are excited to offer walk-up admission for members! Members no longer need to reserve their general admission in advance. (Unless you want to, of course!)
ASTC Passport Program
Members receive free or discounted admission to more than 350 science and children’s museums worldwide (local restrictions apply) through the ASTC Passport Program! Due to local restrictions, this does not include the Rochester Museum & Science Center.
If you are visiting the Buffalo Museum of Science as a member from a participating ASTC museum, please call 716.896.5200 to reserve your tickets in advance. Reciprocal admission cannot be purchased online.
