For a discounted rate or sometimes for free, you can visit other participating museums in the network.\u00a0 For example, the Boston Science Museum\u00a0participates in the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) Passport Program and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) reciprocal admission program.\u00a0 This grants all members free or discounted access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mos.org\/reciprocity\">over 200 museums<\/a>, including international museums in Korea, UK, Mexico, Australia, Bermuda and more!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Outdoor Adventures<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We sometimes forget that there is an abundance of outdoor activities where one can play, roam, and explore.\u00a0 Go for a hike!\u00a0 Have a picnic and play some games!\u00a0 Go fishing or have a beach day!\u00a0 This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/smart-living\/Free-Things-Do-Outside-House-35172780\">list from POPSUGAR<\/a> has lots of great suggestions for how to make the most of outdoor recreational time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Library<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Believe it or not, many libraries have a slew of free family-friendly activities that they offer on a weekly basis.\u00a0 For those without kids, there\u2019s still an option for you.
