Community Membership Program

Creating space for all

At Space Center Houston, we believe that curiosity has no limits, and access to the wonders of space should be just as boundless. That’s why we’re proud to introduce the Community Level Program.

This program marks a bold step in our mission to show how science and humanity drive space exploration. Through the new Community Levels, individuals and families in the Houston area receiving government assistance such as WIC or SNAP can now access Space Center Houston at a reduced rate, with discounts based on benefit levels to ensure accessibility where it’s needed most.

This powerful program is made possible through the generosity of our Discovery Circle Members, whose support is truly opening doors for others. The philanthropic portion of Discovery Circle memberships are funding these reduced rates, turning one family’s gift into another’s opportunity. Thanks to the Discovery Circle, more individuals can access meaningful experiences that inspire curiosity, learning, and growth.

Community Membership Level Prices

These levels are more than just access to our center. They’re an invitation to explore, to learn, and to imagine what’s possible.

How to enroll

Enrollment is currently available on-site only.

The application form can be found at the information desk inside Space Center Houston. Please present a valid ID and proof of government assistance to a membership representative at our Guest Services Desk.
