Yet another discount question!

[Darsa]

Goodness, I'm needy today

The museums we're going to this weekend, The Museum of Science and the Aquarium in Boston, are AMAZINGLY expensive!

Does anyone happen to know if there are discounts available anywhere for these museums? We're AAA members, but when I contacted them about it they just told me that I had to ask them when I got there

Anyone?

Thanks in advance!

Have you checked with your local library to see if they have any kind of vouchers or discounts? My library has vouchers for admission to the MoS for only $5pp. Ours also has vouchers for plenty of other museums and galleries. Definitely worth checking with your local library.

i live just outside of Boston...yes, the museums are super expensive! We have family memberships (we're a family of 5) b/c the cost of those is almost equal to one visit for us. As a tourist you should look for somewhere to buy a "Go Boston" card. It's probably the best way to save money.

As far as annual passes go, many museums are linked on a network. If you have an annual pass to one on the list in your city you can use it at other museums on the list. My local science museum is like $45 a year. I used that a couple of years back to get my whole family into the Museum of Science in Boston and then I also had an annual pass to my local museum. i believe the website will have a list of affiliated museums.
