In the midst of its annual holiday membership drive, the Flint Hills Discovery Center is offering free admission to other science institutions in 2026.
Director Stephen Bridenstine, who joined Within Reason on News Radio KMAN Tuesday, said a key benefit of becoming a member is gaining access to a reciprocal network of science centers across the country, known as the Association of Science and Technology Centers passport program.
“It gets you in with your Discovery Center membership free admission to over 350 science centers across the country,” he said. “You can take, as a Manhattan resident, your Discovery Center membership, go to Kansas City and go to Science City, go to Wichita and go to Exploration Place. With your Discovery Center membership, you get in free at those institutions.”
