Free/cheap Museum Days

I do not guarantee this list to be accurate! Please phone the museum you wish to visit to verify that it is free before going. Please let me know if there are any errors.

Orange County Area

Childrens' Discovery Museum (The Big Cube) on the 5 fwy & main in Santa Ana. Hands-on exhibits, arts & crafts, indoor play area. Taco Bell inside or you can take a picnic to the park across the street. Free admission for Santa Ana residents ONLY is every month on the first Monday of the month.

Bower's Museum Santa Ana has a free day. Anyone know which one?

Santa Ana Zoo Also has a free day. This was one of our favorite zoos when we lived in Orange County because it's flat and small enough that you could do it in an hour with small children. They have a playground inside and picnic grounds outside. They have an amazing monkey/lemur collection. Anyone know their free day?

Orange County Fair I believe they have some free admission days at this fair in July.

Knott's Berry Farm has had a toy drive in November in the past in which you get free admission for bringing a toy. Anyone have info?

We are looking for "recruits" between the age 9-18. This is a great opportunity for your children to learn music, teamwork, discipline and responsibility. New recruits will join in October.
