This year for Jacob and Sarah's birthday, I asked my parents to consider a pass to a nearby zoo or museum in lieu of toys. My mom happily obliged and got us a family pass to our local children's museum (which happens to sit next door to my school!). The pass includes all 3 kids and any 2 adults and provides free admission to that museum along with several other local museums and similar admission or discounts to countless other museums around the state and country!
We had the opportunity to use our pass over Christmas break, not once, but twice! The first day we planned to go for a fun family day and then the following day, I had an eye appointment about a mile away and instead of sitting in the waiting room for 2 hours with the kids, Paul dropped me off at the Dr then swung around the corner and took the kids back for more fun! It was perfect!
Thanks again Mom and Dad/Grandma and Grandpa for the museum pass - we all LOVE it and I know it'll pay for itself many times over this coming year!!

You know, that is a GREAT idea to ask for when someone doesn't know what to get you. I love it! Those pictures are awesome.
We purchased a family pass for the aquarium, but have yet to use it...we're so LAZY sometimes!
Those look like some awesome activities! We don't have a children's museum nearby, but we have really enjoyed the zoo passes we bought this past fall...they've already paid for themselves several times over. And isn't it great to just be able to "drop by" for a bit? Not to worry if you're "getting your money's worth" out of each trip? :)
