by It is finally summer, and with the hotter months of the year a certain pressure comes to have fun. Whether you work around the clock or enjoy scaling time, you might wonder how you can fill in the free time that you have without breaking the bank. When considering maximizing your pleasure this summer, consider the power of the pass: memberships with which you can unlock unlimited or discounted access to entertainment, cultural places and outside adventures throughout the season.
Curious but you are not sure where to start? Below are some activities for which you can use a pass that ensures that you want to throw the bank away and want to go into the world this summer.
🎦 Go to the movie
There is no better way to escape the heat than getting into a matinee – and with so many blockbusters in the summer it is a good time to go to the film. I am a card-bearing AMC Stubs A-list member, which means that for a monthly fee of $ 27.99 (the price varies per market; I am more expensive in Los Angeles), I can see a maximum of four films per week, in whatever format of my choice. The pass more than itself pays when I see more than one film a month, and I collect points that I can use on concessions.
No AMC in your area? Most cinema chains now have their own version. Regal Cinemas offers an unlimited film pass for 2D films, while Alamo Drafthouse enables you to see one film a day with his own seasonal pass options.
🏊 Go to the pool
Do you want to go a dip this summer? A community pool is an easy way to cool down and often comes for low costs, such as $ 100 for a summer membership.
But if there is no community pool in your area and you want to take a dip, consider a day pass to a hotel pool via the Service Resortpass. With this pay-per-day service you can enjoy hotel pool facilities without paying for a room. Although more expensive than your community pool, it is a great idea if you are looking for a more luxury stay.
🏞️ Visit a National Park
If your idea of summer pleasure includes a lot of nature, consider the national parks and federal recreational country pass. For $ 80 a year you will receive access to national parks, forests and refuge for animals in the wild – all without paying access prices every time you visit. The pass includes one private vehicle or four entrance prices.
📕 View a book – and many other benefits – in the library
Your local library is a great, totally free place to visit in the summer. You can not only hang around in the AC, you can also read your new favorite beach. But books and DVDs are not the only things you can get in the library; Many also offer free passes to visit state parks, as well as museums and other cultural experiences. Ask your local librarian about benefits.
🎢 Take a ride or hit the slide
Junkie van amusement park? If you are obsessed with sensation, you might want to consider an annual pass in your favorite park of your choice.
Six Flags, with 27 amusement parks and 15 water parks in the United States, Canada and Mexico, offers annual passes with which you can visit your favorite park an unlimited number of times for a fixed amount – it is $ 170 for the highest level and comes with discounts on food and merchandise. Plus, where applicable, you also get access to the Six Flags water parks.
Do you live near Universal Studios? Universal Studios Hollywood offers annual passes for $ 299 per year, while Universal Studios Resort in Orlando with two-park pass options includes $ 425 and $ 475 a year.
🏋️ Train – or get nails done
If you like training lessons, consider Class pass this summer. It is a service with which you can issue credits, for which you pay every month, on boutique lessons such as, for example, that Bungee -Training class that you have seen everywhere on social media. You are guaranteed to spend less per class than you would from your own pocket in the studio.
And you can do more with Class pass than just sweating. Class pass is also extensively further than training lessons to things like manicures, visual doctors and even food, making it a real “treat yourself” app. The price varies, depending on which market you are, but in Los Angeles 95 credits per month will return U $ 189.
🖼️ See some exhibitions
Museums are an excellent place to absorb culture and art. Buying an annual pass means that you can come in when the mood strikes, whether you want to view a new exhibition or just want to escape from a heat wave. For example, if you are a New York City resident, you can buy an annual pass from $ 75 from the Museum of Modern Art, which is tax deductible.
🐒 Say hello to some animals
If your ideal way to spend a Sunday wants to observe wild animals, consider buying an annual pass to your local zoo. An annual pass for the Bronx Zoo, for example, will restore you $ 95 a year for one person, and you will also score discounts for extra guest cards and special events.
