when are you looking to go: from their webpage it looks like they give small discounts for different weeks for seniors and students. We went to the one in NY and did the after 5pm discount and still had 4 hours to explore.

You could also get a citypass which is a flat rate price for many different things around town (http://www.citypass.com/city/philadelphia)

From the Body World 2 webpage (http://www2.fi.edu/bodyworlds2/index.html#tix)

Senior Week: 10 Ways to Maintain Your Brain hosted by the Alzheimer's Association
Seniors enjoy a $4.00 discount on tickets to The Franklin Institute's latest exhibition BODY WORLDS 2 & The Brain during Senior Week!

When we think about staying fit, we generally think from the neck down. But brain health plays a critical role in almost everything we do - thinking, feeling, remembering, working, playing - even sleeping. The good news is we now know there are things we can do to keep our brain healthier as we age - and these steps might reduce our risk of Alzheimer's.

For 10 days, the Alzheimer's Association will be onsite in the BODY WORLDS 2 exhibition talking with visitors about the 10 ways to maintain your brain.

Seniors will learn about and see real human examples that relate to aging like joint replacements, a specimen fitted with a pacemaker, and what actually happens to the brain afflicted with Alzheimer's disease.

$4.00 discount on up to two Senior (62+). Tickets are valid Nov. 30-Dec. 9, 2009 ONLY. Order Tickets by calling 1-877-TFI-TIXS. Use code: BW2SEN to redeem this special discount offer. Cannot be combined with any other offer or discount. Valid on up to two adult tickets, Monday - Sunday, 9:30am-7:30 pm. Not valid on IMAX or Franklin Theater and includes museum admission if the exhibit entry time purchased is before 4:30pm.
