A Deal on Newseum Admission

Have you been interested in checking out the Newseum, but not keen on the admission fee (especially when you’re used to touring DC museums for free)? Groupon has a deal to make the entrance charge a little easier to swallow: $10 for One General Admission Ticket to the Newseum. This is a $19.95 value, so if you’re buying for a group, it could lead to significant savings. The deal is available today and tomorrow, and you must redeem it at the Newseum by February 17, 2011. It’s good for two consecutive days when you use it.

For more information and to get in on it, visit the Groupon website.

Fun Forecasted at the Newseum

If your child is a budding meteorologist, takes a special interest in the weather, or just likes unique and fun experiences, then make some room in your schedule this weekend. Saturday, August 28, is Storm Center Newseum Family Day, a chance to get an inside look at weather in the media.

Special activities will take place from 11am -5pm, all with a weather and meteorology focus. Kids can play the part of a weather reporter, learn how meteorologists predict weather, participate in trivia games about weather, enjoy a children’s book reading, check out gear that has been through hurricanes, and meet WJLA-TV’s lead meteorologist, Bob Ryan. Visit the website for the schedule of activities.

As if that isn’t enough, the Family Fun Deal is still running, so admission for kids 18 and under is FREE. (The deal lasts through September 6.)

The Newseum is located at 555 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.

Newsflash!

Is your child a budding journalist? Looking for another way to beat the summer heat? Starting today through September 6, the Newseum is offering a Family Fun Deal—all children 18 and under can visit for free! And if you think the Newseum isn’t for kids, think again. Highlights for kids include a 4-D travel adventure, the “Elvis” and “First Dogs” exhibits, a chance to be a TV reporter, Pulitzer Prize winning photography, and much more. Like regular Newseum tickets, the Family Fun Deal tickets are valid for two consecutive days.
