How To Get Free or Discounted Admission to Museums All Over the United States

One of our road schooling resources has been regular visits to children’s museums, zoos, and science centers. We get into most of these places for free or at a steep discount as a result of nation wide reciprocal programs. These reciprocal programs were an awesome find in our first few months of traveling. About a…

  • Thanks for the great tips! Traveling with a lot of kids and trying to visit these kinds of places can get EXPENSIVE. Going to check out the links you provided right now…ReplyCancel

    Do you know if this is the same between countries? We live in Canada and have been able to use our science centre pass in different cities but we are thinking about going on the road and am wondering if we could use our passes in the US too?ThanksReplyCancel

      Hey! We were able to use our pass at the Science Museum in Vancouver, B.C. If you check the list (at the bottom of the post) you can see which countries/museums it will work for. I imagine if you have a membership to one of the participating Canadian museums that you’d be able to use it all over the U.S. Definitely call ahead and ask though!ReplyCancel

    Thank you so much for sharing this!!! We normally travel pretty slowly (2 months in one state, 3 in another, 6 in another, etc.) but next month we’ll be moving through 10+ states in about 29 days, and we’re scouring all available resources to find plenty of field trip options and ways to get the most out of each state we’ll be visiting. This post has been extremely helpful (as are most of your posts). We plan to drive over to the nearest science center this week and join!ReplyCancel

      Nice!! I’m glad this was helpful! Even traveling slow you can still find them. 😉ReplyCancel

  • What a great tip! I will be researching to see which museums we will be visiting to know what might be covered. EXCELLENT tip about where to buy, too. Thanks!

    I enjoy preparing the kids for art museums, which I love, telling them the stories behind the art – usually religion or mythology. Different art types leads to some really fun and interesting conversations with the kiddos! Love their perspective.ReplyCancel

    We went to total 27 ASTC for the past 5 years.

    LOVE it,

    We made the photobook with all the science museums we went to so far.ReplyCancel

How Do We Decide Where to Go?

How do we decide where we are going? I’m not going to lie, it is pretty random. We don’t have a method, or a certain system we use to choose where to go. Sometimes we get lucky (Mugu State Park!) other times not so much (Lake Manawa). There are a few things we do though,…

A Day In the Life: City Edition

One thing I love about being on the road and having our location constantly change, is that there is no “typical” day. There are a lot of similar things we do everyday, but no two days have been exactly alike so far. I love it. Our days vary quite a bit too if we are…

  • It always amuses me how much I like seeing what peoples days look like 🙂 The zoo always wipes me out. The boys get a second wind in the vehicle and I just want to curl in a ball and sleep!ReplyCancel

  • I love this post! It’s so fun to see how other people live. I can totally relate to the part about the refrigerator puzzle. I pride myself in how much I can fit into that tiny space.ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      I am constantly amazed at how much we can fit. People wonder if I have to go grocery shopping every other day, but I really feel like I don’t have to shop more often than at home. Maybe we just eat simpler?ReplyCancel

  • Mica Hale Hauley

    Awesome. Love the details and the photos. Looks so do-able! 🙂 ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      Totally do-able, and even a little normal, right?ReplyCancel

  • […] It turned out to be quite popular so I thought I’d share over here. We’ve also posted a Day in the Life: City Edition if you want another peek at what full time travel is […]ReplyCancel

13 Tips for Visiting Disneyland with 5 Day Park Hopper Passes and Young Kids

We took a vacation. I know our life may seem to some like a vacation, but it really is not. Our days are full of school, work, chores, cooking and everyday life stuff. Our week at Disneyland was definitely lacking in most of those activities and it was glorious. When We Visited: February 2014 (Sun-Thur)…

    Enjoyed reading this. 🙂 You had a lot of good tips in there. We’re annual passholders so we spend a lot of time at the Disneyland parks. I thought your readers might benefit by knowing there is a great smartphone app called “Mousewait” that gives you wait times for attractions, fast pass availability, show and parade schedules, live photos from the parks, a hidden mickey checklist (for keeping minis entertained while waiting in line), Food menus, maps, Disneyland secrets a chat lounge and TONS more! It has really helped with trip planning! I’ve been a long time member in the community and highly recommend it! 🙂
    Also, no need to fill water bottles, ANY counter service restaurant will give you free ice water at your request. Also hot water if you want to bring your own tea bags or hot chocolate packets. Hope that helps!ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      This is awesome!! Now I need tips like this for Disneyworld. I feel so out of my league!ReplyCancel

      • Kyle

        Sorry for the late reply. I never received a notification email that you responded. this is Sweetmommak from IG btw. there is a MouseWait app for Walt Disbey World too!! Hope that helps! Now I’m wondering what other posts I commented on and missed your reply!! Shoot! LolReplyCancel
