Which membership to get?
If you could choose one local place for which to buy an annual membership, what would you recommend? FMG? John Ball Zoo? Children's Museum?
DS is a curious walking toddler, if that makes a difference. I've yet to go to FMG, so I have no idea if they have things that Ben would like either.
Opinions?
Re: Which membership to get?
FMG All the WAY!
Jan - Slow
Feb - butterflies come in mid-Feb, you can see them before they get to busy
March - April - Butterflies. They have a special members party
May - Oct - Children's Garden. My kids love this. Plus we take long walks through the gardens.
Nov - Dec - Christmas Around the World - They have a special members party too. And they have a train exhibit, which I'm guessing Mr. Ben will love by next year.
We have all 3. If anyone needs gift ideas for Ben's next giftable event, suggest memberships. That's how we went.
We've used the FMG one the most. GVSU's reasoning is good, but she left out the fact that it's somewhere you can walk around in a t-shirt in the middle of winter. And you get in free to the local music concerts on August Tuesday evenings.
The Children's museum is wonderful, we were just there today. But it's more of a once a month trip for us.
The zoo is fun too. They were closed last winter. Unfortunate as it was one of the best times to go. No crowds, active animals...
Something to look at is how the hours of your new job will allow you to visit these places on your 3rd shift schedule. Some places have extended hours once or twice a week. Also, compare the cost and availablility of membership levels of you only, vs. you and your husband (Ben should be free, I think).
