With the Summer Exploration Pass you receive the following benefits:
- Unlimited visits between June 1 and September 30, 2011.
- Discounted rates to the IMAX and Planetarium theater programs ($6 for adults, seniors and students; $5 for children).

- The pass cannot be combined with any other discounts.
- The pass is non-transferable. You must show a valid ID along with the pass when you enter the Museum.
Is this a good deal for you? Consider:
