Shake Off the February Blahs with Half-Price Admission!

February, that sad little winter month sandwiched between New Year’s and the first day of spring. It’s only cause for celebration, for some, being Valentine’s Day—that is, if you don’t count the fact that it’s also MUSEUM MONTH!

For 23 consecutive years, Museum Month has given San Diego County residents plenty of reasons to not spend the entire month of February hibernating. And I can think of 12 reasons right here in Balboa Park—those being the 12 museums that will once again extend half-price admission to bearers of the Macy’s Museum Month Card (no purchase required).

“But Cosmos, I’ve spent the last 22 Februarys hibernating. How do I get in on this deal?”

So glad you ask, my seasonal affective disorder-afflicted friend. Just head on over to any San Diego County Macy’s Department Store and request a Museum Month Card. One card is valid for up to four pack members. Present it at any participating museum (12 in Balboa Park, as mentioned, and 40 total throughout San Diego County) in order to qualify for half-price admission.

As a special bonus this year, thanks to Leap Year, you will have one whole extra day this month to take advantage of the deal. But don’t delay, there’s still only 29 days, and they’ll go by very quickly if you want to fit in all 40 museums!
