[ FREE children's museum passes! ]



sooooooo... my kids love going to museums, i've just found out about this & am very excited! it's the association of children's museums reciprocal program (ACM).

basically if you buy an annual family membership that costs around $130 (which is tax-deductible) at any children's museum that participates in this program you'll get free admission to all the others!

me being the suspicious person that i am (must be the italian in me!!) made a few phone calls to try & find a catch! but as long as you check with the museum you are buying the membership from that they are in the program & your pass has ACM on it somewhere, either printed or a sticker all the other museums should allow at least 4 people from your household in for FREE! music to my ears!!

& there are around 165 nationwide you'll have access to!

you can see who participates here:

& if this is one of those things that everyone already knew about... why didn't you tell me!!?!

  2. What a great tip, Anne, thanks! I know it's a hike, but I HIGHLY recommend the Children's Museum of Maine...it's in Portland, and is on the list. If you're up that way, it's well worth a visit!
