Whole Lotta Bang for My Buck

I. Love. A. Bargain.
The only thing I love more than a bargain is feeling like I’m being treated like a VIP.
So, naturally, when I went to a children’s museum during my recent trip to Fort Myers, Florida, I was interested in their family membership. $75 got me a one-year membership for two adults and four children. This gave me unlimited admission to the Imaginarium in Fort Myers, Florida. It didn’t really matter that I wasn’t coming back to Florida any time soon. Because….
The membership is good at over 300 museums nationwide! HELLO BARGAIN!!!
I came to St. Louis after Florida – BOOM! It was good at the St. Louis Science Center for free parking and free admission to all paid exhibits. Saved me $27.
It was good at a children’s museum in Northern IL where my In-Laws live.
And, HERE IN TEXAS, it is good at museums in Fort Worth, McKinney, Fair Park – Dallas, as well as Corsicana, Tyler, Austin, Amarillo, Houston, Kileen, Fort Davis, Lubbock, and San Antonio.
Did I mention that it was only $75? For my whole family? FOR A WHOLE YEAR?
Now I have no excuse to go out and get myself all cultured-like, y’all.
*NOTE: There is some type of rule about not being able to use your passport membership at Museums within a 90-mile radius of your home address. HOWEVER at the two museums I visited, neither one asked me for a home address so I can’t say what the deal is for sure. But if nothing else it would be good to ask. And if you’re planning any type of trip it would definitely be a good value. To see a list of the museums that participate in the program, click on the link below.

Genius. That is amazing. When we lived in Abilene the zoo there was $24 a year for a family membership that was good at a ton of zoos across the country – the only one that wasn’t on the list that we regularly attend is the Ft. Worth zoo which is why I didn’t drive out to Abilene this year for the membership alone!

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.
