I hate sitting at home, so we like to have a lot of activities to go out and do. I feel really lucky to live in a city with so much for us to get out and experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124355 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:40:35 +0000 Chillybear 2124355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it primarily for the swim lessons... at our Y you only need the child to have the membership which is $20/month and then each swim session is only $50 (7 weeks of classes). With the membership we can partake in special events like the easter egg hunt, family swim sessions, and open time in the kid zone indoor playground. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124340 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:33:38 +0000 regberadaisy 2124340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: @Rainbow Sprinkles: how much is the Y? What's included? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124272 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 12:46:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 2124272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>zoo and children's museum. we use the heck out of the children's museum right now but once weather gets nicer we'll hit the zoo more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124256 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 12:38:40 +0000 Chillybear 2124256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just signed LO up for the Y, I think we might do a yearly pass for Sesame Place - its like 15 minutes from my office and maybe the zoo. But i dont feel like we'll take advantage that much because of work and only going on the weekends. If i was a SAHM I could see us doing that almost every week to get out of the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124253 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 12:37:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2124253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The zoo and the YMCA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124245 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 12:33:25 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2124245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: that's so nice! Ours is nothing to get excited about but it's pretty expensive -- we can slowly walk through, stop to eat and still be out in two hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124241 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 12:30:21 +0000 kayakgirl73 2124241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None here. We are thinking about getting a CSA which would include unlimited access to the farm and it's special events. I just don't know if we'd use off the food. They do have a delivery spot in our neighborhood, but the actual farm is an hour away. Most of our museums and the National Zoo are free. Thinking about a zoo membership because it includes parking and with all the track work on Metro lately on the weekends, metro is a mess. I live in the DC area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124127 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 11:12:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2124127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: yeah it's def cheaper than a lot of other zoos based off what I've seen on here. And about twice a year there is usually a local Groupon deal and I'll pick up tickets then. Something like $20 for 2 adults and 2 kids. In the past I've found Groupon coupons and paid like $10 for the four tickets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124045 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 10:19:21 +0000 ValentineMommy 2124045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zoo, aquarium, and the please touch museum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124016 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 09:54:13 +0000 skipra 2124016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got a zoo membership and have a gym membership that has unlimited childcare plus family pool time on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2124006 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 09:50:04 +0000 mediagirl 2124006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a membership to our local kids museum.

The main reason is with a family of six the family membership is usually just a few dollars more than one trip. We Also do our local zoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2123976 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 09:34:32 +0000 Mae 2123976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would buy a zoo membership except my dad has a membership that includes us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2123969 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 09:31:48 +0000 catlady 2123969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the aquarium, science museum, and Mass. Audubon (gets us access to nice hiking trails and nature centers). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2123953 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 09:24:01 +0000 Corduroy 2123953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have family memberships to the local zoo, toddler amusement park and county park system (covers parking, farm admission &amp; swim fees). It definitely encourages us to go out more since we don't have to worry about getting our money's worth each visit. </p> <p>We might not renew the toddler amusement park membership. It's the furthest drive and we still need to pay $5 for parking. I prefer places that cost nothing once you have the membership. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2123890 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 08:46:37 +0000 Dandelion 2123890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a family membership to a cultural organization in our county. It gets us into several places and events. It's well worth it dor us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2123868 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 08:20:53 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2123868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: is your zoo inexpensive? We have a family membership because going three times pays for itself! Ours is kind of expensive, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2123859 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 08:15:18 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2123859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one to all the nyc zoos.

We will always have the zoo membership as DS is obsessed with animals. We won't be getting the kids museum one again, it's too far away and we don't go enough to make it worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2123758 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 07:07:27 +0000 lamariniere 2123758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zoo, acquarium and the technical museum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2123752 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 06:46:45 +0000 looch 2123752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a membership to the local children's museum and one to the nature center where my son attends preschool.</p> <p>My husband's job offers discounted/free admission to a lot of places around here, so we take advantage of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-memberships#post-2123306 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 19:15:02 +0000 brownie 2123306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have taken the most value from reciprocal memberships.
