Bank of America celebrates the importance of the arts by providing unparalleled access to some of the nation's greatest museums and cultural institutions. On the first weekend of every month, Bank of America ATM, check or credit card holders have the opportunity to visit over 70 museums nationwide, free of charge.

Mnsweeps, you can go to LACMA in Los Angeles, if that's your sort of thing. (I wasn't all that crazy about it, myself.) And there's the Discovery Science Center in Orange County, which should be fun for kids. www.discoverycube.org

Has anyone ever been to the Discovery Science Center? The California Science Center near USC is excellent and always free (donation recommended) but we've been so often that taking a trip to OC might be a nice break. The Discovery Science Center only being open on Saturday sounds pretty sketchy though.

I've went to 3 places in Chicago with this over the last year and never had a problem. The program has actually been around for a few years, so unless the museums listed are new, the staff is pretty used to it.

One card per person. But I have never had them check ID, so if you have 2+ cards, just give them to other people at the door.

Kirbydog, I'm confused. Does it START this April, or does it END in April? Your link goes to Museums on Us 2008. And that shows it ends this April. But either way, thanks!
I did this back in October, great deal. Thanks for the reminder, need to go again soon since it expires this April.

If you only have one card, you can add your spouse (or anyone else) as an authorized user. The authorized user's card will arrive in 5-7 business days. Then you can both go for free.

I saw this deal earlier in FW, but never availed it. We have few BOA cards. But anyone has experience if they allow the kids free specially in NYC museums and parks?
The Bronx Zoo is free on Wednesdays for everyone, as is the Hall of Science. The Aquarium and the Intrepid are almost never free. The rest "suggest" donations upon entry, but one can donate as little as $1 or nothing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We went to the Discovery Science Center last summer. It's not too big but there's plenty to do for the kids at least for half a day. They also have a outdooor scavenger type hunt. The museum is also located close to the Main Place Mall.

So this is what they're doing with our bailout money....
PharmerNate said: Anyone else from SF? I thought Legion of Honor and deYoung were free on the first weekend day of the month anyways. Am I just crazy? Without checking I recall that many museums have the first Tuesday as free but none that I know of include any special exhibits in the free admission part. hth
I have been doing this for a year. But the museum of art in San Jose is very sneaky, they always pick the free weekend to change their gallery, so there is always at least one section of the museum being closed during the free weekend.

Just to clarify a bit further, this is free with card only on the first full weekend of every month (see details when you go on the website). Next free weekend is May 2 + 3. Can't wait to go, and so happy I found out about this.

Wow, that's awesome! Thanks for sharing, I had never heard of this, even though I read that others in this forum have been doing this for years. Each of my family members has a Bank of America card, and weekends are a great time for us to go on a little trip to a museum.

would you be more upset if you paid for it and they were closed ?!
