subject: Tips For Saving On Family Travel And Entertainment In Dc [print this page] Solidifying travel and entertainment deals for your family, just like travel itself, requires research and preparation. The majority of the time, tickets in D.C. can be purchased at discounted prices if you act early and act quickly. Here are some tips for saving on family travel and entertainment in Washington, D.C.:
1. Subscribe to the mailing list of the point of interest you will be visiting in the upcoming months. Most of the museums have email lists where you can subscribe for specials and up-to-date information.
2. Sign up for travel alerts on major travel portal sites. You can set parameters for the dates you will be traveling.
3. Search for the local parenting magazines in D.C. They're usually ripe with coupons or if you email them, they may even direct you to other resources that can be of help for getting coupons and discounts.
4. If you are a government employee or military dependent, be sure to ask if discounts are offered for those affiliations. In a place like Washington, D.C., you can find plenty of businesses that respect and honor the military and the government and in turn, offer discounts to the members and families.
5. Check with AAA for discounts in D.C. If you are a AAA member, they usually mail the regional magazine where you reside, but if you send them a note requesting a copy for D.C., they will happily oblige and mail it to you.
6. If you shop for groceries at one of D.C.'s local supermarkets, oftentimes you will see coupons on the back of the receipts. People often ignore these, however discounts for amusement parks and restaurants are often printed back there.
7. Explore the visitors' rack in the lobby of hotels for pamphlets and rack cards of various attractions. Most of the time there's a valuable coupon at the bottom of the advertisement or on the reverse side.
Last but not least, word of mouth is the best way to save on family travel and entertainment. Locals or people who've traveled to your destination have insight that may not always be readily available on the Internet. Give yourself enough lead time to do research and score off-season deals, and you can walk away from your family trip saving hundreds of dollars and hours of time.
