Did you know that low income families can get a Pacific Science Center Membership for just $19 per YEAR?! This program is legit, folks. We have had a Pacific Science Center membership for many years before I discovered this discount. Believe me, it’s not something you want to miss!

If you’re looking for the Pacific Science Center low income membership, then the ACCESS Membership is what you’re after. This program allows families who receive any form of public assistance (such as food stamps or Medicaid) to purchase a Pacific Science Center membership for just $19 per year!
My kiddos have basically grown up at this place. It’s a family favorite, for sure. We love everything, from the tropical butterfly house to the outdoor water features to the dinosaur exhibits to the planetarium shows!
A lot of museums provide limited benefits to their access memberships. However, these discounted Pacific Science Center memberships are the real deal! You get the same benefits and perks that you would get with the standard $100+ membership!
This family membership covers up to two adults and six children! In addition to one year of unlimited access to the Pacific Center’s permanent exhibits, you’ll also get 15 free documentary passes, 8 free guest passes, unlimited free planetarium and laser shows, member pricing on special events and discounts on purchases at the center!
All this and all you have to pay is $19 per year! NINETEEN DOLLARS!!! When you consider the fact that one adult admission for just one visit costs more than $19, this low income Pacific Science Center membership is an absolute steal!!! It is literally cheaper than one one-time adult admission.

I cannot overstate what an amazing deal this is. I’m sorry for all the exclamation points and italics, guys. I’m just really, really, really excited about this.
So, I’m sure you’re wondering… how do you get this amazing deal? It’s easy! You can sign up on-site in the membership office or by calling (206) 443-2924.

Your welcome. Our headstart program told us about this program and we are just as excited.

How do you get the discount online? Is there. A special place on the site to get it? I am not finding anything about this on the PSC site.
Nicole
There is no way to get this discount online, unfortunately. You can get it on-site or by calling the membership office at (206) 443-2924. I applied for mine over the phone and I received my membership cards in the mail about a week later.

What do you need to bring with you if you sign up on site?
Nicole
I’m not 100% sure (I had a previous PacSci membership so I just renewed at the new rate), but I’m pretty sure you’ll need proof of assistance (EBT or ProviderOne card, etc) and photo ID. I recommend calling to confirm this just in case they require something else, though. 🙂
Kelley
I don’t recall providing proof, but they did ask me what form of assistance I had.
Christina Brewer
I just got my 19$ membership in less than 3 minutes by phone and it’s immediately activated!!! Thanks Lowincomerelief for the great info!!
Nicole
No problem! Enjoy your new PacSci pass! 🙂
Stephanie McCoy
Can I go into the museum as well. Of course bringing my EBT card in for discount. What is the membership good for, individual or a family?
Nicole
You’ll bring your EBT card into the membership office, where you can sign up for a family membership. You only need to do that once and then you’ll have a membership card you can bring with you. The membership costs just $19 per year and provides free admission for an entire year for a family (up to 2 adults and 6 kids). You can go back to the science center as often as you want! You’ll also get 8 free guest passes, so you can bring friends along… and 15 free documentary tickets to any documentaries you want to watch during that year. 🙂

Hi Nicole. Do you know of any places that offers low income gym memberships in Seattle? For people whi honestly cannot afford it and diesn’t require a debit car to maintain membership? I volunteer at a nonprofit organization and need help finding this info.
Nicole
I don’t know of any but I’m happy to help investigate this. I do know that the YMCA offers a sliding scale based on income (and an additional financial aid scholarship-type program) for low-income clients. I’ll keep looking, though. 🙂
Areum
Thank you!

Hi, Ed! I’m happy to report that this discount IS still available! I just called the membership office to confirm and they said they are still offering these memberships. All you need to do is visit PacSci or call (206) 443-2924. 🙂

Good news, Jeni! You do NOT have to be a Seattle resident! I live about 2 hours away from Seattle and I was able to get mine. 🙂

Thanks, Lucas! I appreciate the clarification. 🙂

Do they have something similar for Point Defiance Zoo? I have a son who is Special Needs and so most of our extra money goes to his doctors appointments in Seattle and we would love to give him and our family a break and do something other than see doctors while here. I do know that the Children’s museum In downtown Seattle near the space needle offers 1.00$ entry for the entire family if an EBT card is shown before you buy the tickets. just FYI 🙂
Nicole
Hello, Ashley! Thanks for asking. I’m local to the Seattle region so I LOVE finding free stuff in this area! Unfortunately, I haven’t found any awesome programs like these for the zoos yet. However, I do have a lot of other good stuff for you! 🙂
