Big Bang for Your Buck

Are you wearing last year’s duds instead of buying new?  Have hot dogs and canned soup replaced steak and gourmet foods on your grocery list?  Have you canceled this year’s vacation?  We hear you.  It’s a familiar scenario these days.

 

Well, take heart. Here’s a lift for your spirits. Vacation and fun are not out of reach. Especially for Connecticut residents, good times are practically in your own backyard at Mystic Seaport – The Museum of America and the Sea.

 

A Museum membership offers you and your family a big bang for your buck. Topping the list is unlimited free admission to Mystic Seaport during your membership year, and no matter which category of membership you purchase, it’s a tax deduction!

If the word “discount” has a magical ring, just listen to some of the many great discounts available to all Mystic Seaport members: shopping at the Museum Store; dining at the Seamen’s Inne Restaurant and Pub; reduced rental prices at Mystic Seaport’s boathouse (in season); special pricing on Rosenfeld prints and ships plans; and last but not least, discounts at many other museums, both in neighboring states and further afar.

Members also receive invitations to special member events at the Museum and have interesting group travel opportunities to destinations far and wide. Additionally, you will have the  chance to register early for select Museum programs and purchase advance tickets for popular special events such as Nautical Nightmares and Lantern Light Tours.

What you’ll perhaps appreciate most as a Mystic Seaport member is access to a quiet members-only lounge. It’s in the first floor of the Membership Building, a welcome respite from the crowds or inclement weather, where you can relax in comfortable arm chairs, have a hot or cold drink and peruse the members-only selection of caps, mugs, ties, scarves and burgees available for purchase.

Sound good? Then welcome aboard! Join our member community either on-line, by phone(860.572.5339), or by stopping by the Membership Building during your next visit. (Your admission fee can be deducted from your membership.) How’s that for a good deal? Perhaps now you can go ahead and enjoy that nice steak dinner.
