One More Reason to “Stay” for the Day
Debuting last spring, the Balboa Park Stay-for-the-Day Pass was such an enormous success, it’s giving visitors one more reason to “stay” by adding one more museum visit to the package. Bipeds are now entitled to 5 different museum visits in a single day for one low price of $35.
Ideal for families, out-of-towners, students, and stay-cationers, the pass allows its bearer to mix and match 5 of their favorite museums, from a diverse selection of 14, for one full day of cultural enrichment. Whether you enjoy nature, science, the arts, history, anthropology, cars, or trains, or all of the above, the pass has you covered.
And while certain separately priced exhibitions may not be included, the pass will generally grant reduced admission to blockbuster shows like the new Science of … Aliens exhibition at the Air & Space Museum. The Stay-for-the-Day Pass is even good for one free admission to an IMAX film at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and films in the Natural History Museum’s 3-D theater.
And once you’re in you’re in. That is, the Stay-for-the-Day Pass generally entitles you to everything that is included with that museum’s general admission price, including the free activities many museums are offering during the upcoming Science Family Day on March 20.
So what are you waiting for? Buy your passes ahead of time online, or purchase them on site at any participating museum or the Balboa Park Visitors Center. It sure is nice to know the word “stay” is good for at least one species.
