Family Memberships Save Money

Local family attractions such as zoos, science centers or amusement parks can be expensive when you pay single-admission rates, but a membership can save you money.

It's Friday. It's raining. If I stay inside we'll all go crazy.... Hey, let's go to Science World! Here in Vancouver, on a rainy morning there is nothing better to do with your kids than head out to see one of the many fantastic local attractions, such as the Vancouver Aquarium, Science World or Grouse Mountain.

However, if I paid a single admission every time we wanted to go one of these places, we'd quickly build up a sizeable family entertainment bill. Many urban attractions have high single-admission rates to make money from tourism, but lower membership rates that allow locals to go as often as they want for the price of two or three single admissions. So, the next time you decide to take the kiddos to your local zoo, amusement park or science center, check out the savings on the family membership rate. If the attraction is something you could see yourself doing a few times, you'll usually save money by buying a membership.
