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…
I never thought I would, but I absolutely love to homeschool my kids. Even more than that, I love to roadschool my kids. True, there are very frustrating moments (more than I’d care to admit) but mostly it has been the most amazing learning experience for all of us. I’ve had many people ask HOW…
I love reading about all of your adventures! I just thought I’d throw it out there that if you ever want to stop by Cache Valley you are more than welcome to park at our place. We have plenty of room. I would also be more than happy to give a little agriculture lesson for the kids, we could visit the USU dairy and stuff like that. I know Wellsville isn’t very exotic but if you ever pass through, don’t hesitate to holler!ReplyCancel
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…
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?Thanks
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!
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!
Nice!! I’m glad this was helpful! Even traveling slow you can still find them. 😉
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.
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.
