The Virginia Air & Space Science Center and Museums for All
Museums for All aims to ensure that as many families as possible can take advantage of our Center as a resource within the Hampton Roads community. We recognize that the costs of our admission can be a barrier for many low-income families. This initiative enables those receiving food assistance (SNAP) benefits to visit for a fee of $5 per person, up to four people, with the presentation of a SNAP Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. This admission is good for our exhibit entry only; extra fees are required for IMAX or MAXFlight program. A general Family Membership can also be purchased for $87.50, with IMAX passes for the family.
Our mission is to educate, entertain, and inspire explorers of all ages, which we cannot do if barriers prevent members of our community from participating. We are working with community partners to help spread the word and encourage people to visit and keep that enthusiasm and curiosity alive. Let’s join together to help celebrate the many exciting ways the Hampton Roads region has led innovation in aerospace!
