Ask for discounts
If you or someone going with you is a veteran or active military member, you may be entitled to discounts automatically. Always inquire about a senior discount if you are 50 years old or older. Are you taking your children on a trip? Inquire about child or student pricing at attractions, and look for eateries that provide free children’s meals on specific weeknights.
Discounts are available through AARP, AAA, and other groups. Some hotels will provide discounts to seniors or disabled tourists, so ask if anyone in your party qualifies.
Another tip: Some museums have reciprocity agreements, so if you’re a member of one in your hometown, you might be eligible for discounted admission to another. Before you travel, check out what museum associations your local attraction is a member of.
