DISCOUNTED
PASSES
Looking for a fun way to spend the weekend without spending a lot
of money? Visit the Portsmouth Museums and ask for a "Key Pass,"
which admits you to the Children's Museum of Virginia, the Naval
Shipyard Museum, the Lightship Portsmouth Museum, and the Courthouse
Galleries for a mere $9. And don't worry about seeing it all in
a day. The Key Pass is good for 90 days (for one visit per museum).
Key Passes are sold at the cashier's counter of each city museum.
During the summer, the Portsmouth Museums are open 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. The Children's
Museum of Virginia is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday,
and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays. The museums are closed on Mondays
during the school year, between Labor Day and Memorial Day; however,
they will open on a Monday if it is an observed holiday. Call 757-393-5111
for information.
A pass to visit seven Hampton Roads museums. Includes admission
to the Children's Museum of Virginia, Courthouse Galleries, Naval
Shipyard Museum and Lightship PORTSMOUTH in Portsmouth; the Virginia
Living Museum in Newport News; the Virginia Air & Space Center
in Hampton; and Nauticus in Norfolk. The membership can result in
quite a savings for a family since the typical one-time admission
price for an adult ranges from $6 at the Children's Museum of Virginia
to $9.95 at Nauticus. Membership to the program is available at
three levels: Individual, Family, or Grandparents. 7-4-1 Memberships,
which are good for one year from the date of purchase, can be bought
at any one of the participating museums. For additional information
about the 7-4-1 Membership, call the Portsmouth Museums at 757-393-8983.
