I absolutely love this Groupon deal. Click here to get a family membership (2 adults 2 kids) to the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff for $30. You’ll also get two guest passes, a subscription to The Lowell Observer, a discount in the astronomy gift shop, and free admission to 300 affiliated science centers nationwide (click here to see the particiating locations). The affiliated museum benefit can save you so much money and allow you to see lots of neat places on your trips! We’re going to San Diego for a week next month, and with this deal, we’ll be able to visit the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and the San Diego Natural History Museum for free. The Arizona Science Center is also listed as an affiliated science center, but I believe you’re supposed to live 90 miles away to use it there. I will call them in the morning to double check the rules!

The Lowell Observatory is fun to visit. You might get to look through the telescope that discovered Pluto (the no-longer 9th planet).

Enjoy…$30 for 4 people is a BARGAIN!
