\n\tVisiting a museum at the right time can mean substantial savings for your family on admission prices. You can beat the heat in the mostly air-conditioned galleries while taking advantage of these hot discounts.<\/h4>\n

\n\t$5 or Less Promotions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHappy hour has a whole new meaning at the Please Touch Museum<\/a> in Phila., where admission on every first Wednesday (Aug. 4 this month) is only $2 from 5-7pm. Regular admission to the museum is $15. <\/p>\n

\n\t\"DelawareAdmission to the National Constitution Center<\/a> on Thursday nights through August is $5 (regularly $8-$12) from 5-8pm. During family activities those nights, kids can explore the connections between Philadelphia’s past and present.<\/p>\n

\n\tDollar Days continue at Hagley Museum & Library<\/a> in Wilmington, DE on Thursdays through August. Regular admission is $4-11. Admission is also $1 on Tuesdays in August at the Delaware Museum of Natural History<\/a> in Wilmington (regularly $5-$7).<\/p>\n

\n\tFree-admission Community Nights<\/a> at The Franklin Institute<\/a> in Phila. run every third Wednesday (Aug. 18 this month), except in December. You can check out all the permanent exhibits for free from 5-8pm, and free tickets are usually available for IMAX and 3D shows, too.<\/p>\n

\n\tCombo Savings<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\"PennA combo-ticket deal between The Franklin Institute and the Penn Museum<\/a> in Phila. offers discounted admission to both museums, including the special Cleopatra<\/em> exhibit at The Franklin through January. Tickets for $22-$32 (a savings of $3.50-$4.50) are available at either museum. At the Penn Museum after 3:30pm any day except Monday (and after 4pm on Sunday), museum admission is pay-what-you-wish. Half of the Penn Museum galleries are not air-conditioned, so save a trip to Penn for a cooler day.<\/p>\n

\n\tFree Art Museums<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\"Kids'Pay-what-you-wish admission is available all day on the first Sunday (Aug. 1 this month) at the Philadelphia Museum of Art<\/a>, and Sundays there feature children’s tours & family art projects. Admission to the Woodmere Art Museum<\/a> in Chestnut Hill, PA and the Biggs Museum<\/a> in Dover, DE is always free (both are closed Mondays) and the Delaware Art Museum<\/a> in Wilmington offers free admission all day on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n\tMilitary Discount<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tMilitary families with proper ID can gain free admission to more than 700 “Blue Star Museums” nationwide through Labor Day. The Academy of the Natural Sciences<\/a> in Phila. and the Delaware Children's Museum<\/a> in Wilmington are among local museums participating in the promotion.<\/p>\n
