Save $$ at the Montreal Science Centre

Unfortunately, not all fun and educational activities are affordable for all Montrealers, but there are ways to save money. I wrote a post about the Access Montreal card, which gives discounts for some Montreal area events and sites. It’s also always worth checking out the sites of placed you’d like to go to. It’s not unusual for some of us to say we can’t afford an activity, but you’d be surprised at some of the deals that can be had if you just do a bit of digging.

The Montreal Science Centre, located in the Old Port, usually charges from 9.00 to 20.00 depending on the age of the person and the events they are attending. But, if you check further, this is how you can save more, according to their website:
