One of the goals of GrandmaCents is to bring you great suggestions for fantastic adventures for very little money.
My grandchildren love to take field trips to museums and one of the great cost saving tricks available where we live, and in most major cities is the Association of Children’s Museums Reciprocal Program.
If your local children’s museum participates in this program, you can purchase a tax-deductible family membership to that museum and you’ll get free admission for four visitors (from the same household) to more than 165 children’s museums nationwide. In Illinois, where I am originally from, your family can join the nearest kids’ museum for about $100 and have access to the nationwide network, including 12 children’s museums within the state. Even if your gang visits only one museum once a month, that comes out to a bargain $2 per person per visit.
