Membership Pricing
Unlock a year of wonder! Enjoy unlimited visits all year long with a membership, plus the flexibility to bring different guests each time—up to the number of people included in your membership. For example, a 4-person membership allows entry for up to 4 people per visit, including at least one named cardholder.
Important Cardholder Details:
- Individual memberships include one named cardholder.
- Family memberships can include up to two named cardholders.
- Please note: A named cardholder must be present for every visit.
Levels
Memberships are priced based on the number of people included — from individual up to a group of six! Your Connecticut Science Center Membership level determines how many visitors (ages 3 and up) can visit at one time. Please note: the Caregiver add-on does not increase your Membership’s visitor limit.

Butterfly Encounter Add-On
Spread your wings! The Butterfly Encounter add-on gives you unlimited visits to our colorful, immersive butterfly experience. This add-on costs an extra $15 per person and must be added for every member on your Membership. For example, a four-person Membership would pay an additional $60 to include this feature. You can add this option anytime during your Membership term, and it will expire on the same date as your primary Membership, regardless of when you purchase the add-on.
Caregiver Add-On
The Caregiver add-on costs $60 (available for Memberships with 2 or more people) and lets you add a third named Cardholder — such as a grandparent, au pair, or nanny — who can use the Membership to visit with your children. This add-on does not increase the total number of visitors allowed at one time, which is still set by your Membership level. With this add-on, the third Cardholder can visit without the primary or secondary Cardholders present.
Membership Guidelines
Memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable. At least one named cardholder listed on the Membership must be present during each visit and is included in the admission count. All cardholders must be 18 years of age or older and must present both their Membership card and a valid photo ID upon entry. Admission privileges do not apply to birthday parties, school field trips, or other group reservations. Memberships are valid exclusively at the Connecticut Science Center.
The Connecticut Science Center is committed to protecting your privacy. Your personal information is never shared or sold to any third party.
One Visit is Never Enough!
A Connecticut Science Center Membership pays for itself by your second visit — making it an unbeatable value! You can upgrade your same-day General Admission tickets to a year-long membership before you leave. The value of your tickets applies toward the membership level you choose — but the number of tickets used can’t exceed that level (e.g., 4 tickets toward a 4-Person Membership).
Add-ons aren’t eligible for upgrade, only one receipt can be used, and the upgrade must be completed onsite the same day.
STEM For All
The Connecticut Science Center is proud to serve the community as a vibrant hub for science learning in Connecticut — innovative, inclusive, and engaging for all. Our mission is to spark curiosity in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), especially among children, to help meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in these fields. Through hands-on exhibits and interactive programs, we deliver enriching experiences that foster learning, growth, and opportunity — because we believe science education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of income. Our Access Membership Program is available for qualifying families living in Connecticut or Massachusetts, with plans that accommodate up to six people.
Adopt a Butterfly
Symbolically adopt a tropical butterfly and support our mission and programs. You'll receive a certificate, photo, and species info. It’s a unique, meaningful gift — and a great addition to any Membership!
