While I was on the website for the Children’s Museum in Cherry Hill, NJ on this rainy sunday, I was looking into Membership info. I found out that if you get the Family and Friends Membership ($149.00 + tax) you get all of this:

Free general admission to the Garden State Discovery Museum for immediate family members for one year (children and their two adults)

A subscription to Discoveries, the Museum’s newsletter with articles of interest to members and a listing of all Museum events

10% discount on workshops, classes, and birthday parties

10% discount in the Discovermore Store

Discount savings on special events, concerts, performances and summer camps

plus free admission to nearly 150 museums around the country!

Free admission for up to four additional guests per visit-perfect for a grandparent or babysitter

A custom tile on the new “Family & Friends” mosaic wall at the Museum

15% discount in the Discovermore Store

Special members event

You can get your membership online here:

This is a FANTASTIC holiday gift for your kids or grandkids! Entry to museums is usually at least $10 per person, kids included. This will pay for itself in less than 3 – 4 visits, plus you can bring another family with you EVERY TIME you go. Or bring a babysitter, grandma, anyone!! There are 2 museums in New Jersey that use this program, but you can use it while visiting cousins, aunts/uncles, grandparents, friends and anyone else!

Please look in the Directory on TomsRiverMom.com for a comprehensive listing of childrens museums in the New Jersey area! If you go, send me pictures or an email and let me know how it was!
