Here’s How You Can Get Into Museums For a Discount in Illinois

Summertime gives us the opportunity for some fun adventures. It's even more fun when those adventures don't break the bank. Luckily, I found a little hack on the Rockford Discovery Center's page that everyone should know about!

I was chatting with a coworker when she and I found this out. I love visiting museums, but the travel and tickets to get in are insane sometimes. If it's tough for me, I can't imagine how much it costs for an entire family. Well, I think I found a fun way to visit Children's Museums without doing damage to the wallet!

Now, the key is getting a membership at a museum that's an organization in the Association of Children's Museums. You don't just have to get it at the Discovery Center though, but it's the closest to us.
