San Diego deal: Pass offers half-off museum admissions during February
A Valentine"s Day idea for those who love to save a buck: museum-hopping. In San Diego, tickets to more than 40 museums will be half-price for the month of February.
The deal: The 23rd Museum Month in San Diego County offers half-off tickets to venues such as the San Diego Natural History Museum, the Oceanside Museum of Art and the USS Midway Museum.
Here"s how it works: Macy"s department store sponsors the event and distributes free passes (while they last) at 14 locations in the San Diego area. The pass is good for half-price tickets for up to four people but can be used only once at each museum. (Overachievers, I suppose, will have an entire month to try to see all the museums on the list.)
When: The discount pass is good Feb. 1-29.
Details: The deal applies to two lesser-known spots that are well worth a visit: the Whaley House Museum (usually $6 for adults daytime, $10 for evenings) and the Marston House & Gardens (usually $10 for adults).
The pass also saves on admission to "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition," which opens Feb. 10 at the San Diego Natural History Museum. The show requires a general admission ticket plus a timed-entry ticket. With the museum admission discount and entry to "Titanic," adults pay $19.50 instead of $27 and
