We have what is considered a "big" family. There are 5 of us, me, my husband Russ, Benjamin 7, Grace 5 and Molly 5. While I don't really consider us a big family it does seem to cost "big" bucks to go out and do anything. Especially anything that is fundacational (my word for fun and educational).
I think I may have stumbled on a solution, at one that seems to be working for my family. While we were at the Rockford Discovery Center I was able to purchase a family membership. However, this is no ordinary membership. For the $100 fee our membership card gets us into a whole bunch of children's museums around the country as well as discounted or free admission into a variety of science and technology museums. I figure we just need to visit 2 museums for the membership to pay for itself. As of todays posting I have done those two visits.
To see if there is a museum in your area that participates in either of these programs check out the following websites. www.childrensmuseums.org or www.astc.org
