You must have the NEW membership card with the ASTC logo on it. (All existing members must exchange their current membership card for the new one. Please bring your old card to the Long Island Explorium, and you will receive your new Membership card with our logo).

BEFORE YOU GO - check that the museum that you are visiting is participating in the passport program. Check that it is more than 90 miles from the Explorium.
*This distance is measured “as the crow flies,” meaning that it is based on the linear radius, not the driving distance.

Online radius tools can be helpful when determining if a Passport venue is within a 90-mile radius of the Explorium.
This tool allows you to draw two circles in different colors. Enter the address of the museum where you are a member first (or their home address, if the museum they wish to visit checks IDs). Then, enter the address of the museum you wish to visit and create a new circle in a different color.

Visit the ASTC Passport Program FAQ page to learn more about the paid benefit provided for free for you with your membership at the Long Island Explorium:  https://www.astc.org/membership/find-an-astc-member/passport-faq/

SOME OF OUR REVIEWS

"6 years later still bringing the youngest who will be turning 8 this year and she loves going to play and have fun with all the activities. She still loves the dry Rice filled boat after all these years to play in, though I have to get her to come out so the little toddlers can go in to play."

"My 4 and 7 year olds loved the place. Very interesting “engineering” and puzzle stations that keeps them busy for hours
We’ve been two hours here and not enough to explore all of the stations"

"What a wonderful educational experience you can get visiting this unique place. We need more places like this. We were able to learn about science and create digital images. This place is donation-based. We enjoyed the rice boat the kids played in. Outside has the port to hang out and walk around."
