Resolved to take better advantage of the city? A family museum membership may be just the bait you need. The City Traveler Membership from the Brooklyn Children’s Museum is possibly the best deal you’ll find anywhere in town.
A year’s free admission for the entire household (plus ten guest passes) takes effect after the museum reopens this spring. But the real perk—gratis entry to more than 360 kid-approved museums across the U.S.—kicks in as soon as your card arrives in the mail. In our area, the program applies to the New York Transit Museum, the Staten Island Children’s Museum, the New York Hall of Science, the Newark Museum and Liberty Science Center. City Traveler families will also get to check out the revamped Brooklyn Children’s Museum before its doors officially open to the public; after the big day, they’ll get invitations to preview special exhibits and a 10 percent discount on birthday parties and gift-shop purchases. To apply, visit brooklynkids.org/membership or call 718-735-4400.
