We have learned to look for coupons when we do online shopping. But we often don’t think of looking for online coupons when we visit local attractions. We should. The weak economy means many of our local attractions are offering frequent discounts, deals and coupons, most on their websites.
Here are some current deals:
• Get a Summer Savings Pass for $54.95 and get unlimited visits to Miami Seaquarium, Miami MetroZoo (now Zoo Miami) and Lion Country Safari through Sept. 30, plus one visit to Wannado City. If you already have an annual pass to one of the attractions, you can get the Summer Savings Pass for $29.95. www.Summersavingspass.com
• Moms Miami has a Summer Fun Pass that gives mom free admission to a host of South Florida attractions and plays with two other paying guests. The deal is good through Aug. 31. www.momsmiami.com .
• Jungle Island in Miami has a Power of 10 deal that expires day: $10 off plus a free annual pass for the rest of 2010 with each paid admission. www.jungleisland.com .
• The Miami Seaquarium is running an “Everyone’s a Kid” deal that provides for $10 off adult admission through Sept. 30. www.miamiseaquarium.com .
• Lion Country Safari near West Palm Beach has a coupon for $8 off each person in the vehicle good through July 21. There are also coupons at Publix for $6 off. www.lioncountrysafari.com .
• Flamingo Gardens in Davie has a coupon for $2 off adult admission and $1 off children’s admission, with no expiration date listed. www.flamingogardens.org .
• Butterfly World in Coconut Creek has a coupon for $3 off, good through Aug. 2. www.butterflyworld.com.
• Fairchild Tropical Garden has a coupon for $2 off admission on its website. The coupon is good through July 31. www.fairchildgarden.org.
Most of the deals can’t be combined, so if there are two deals for the place you want to visit, you’ll have to pick the one that’s best for your group.
When these deals expire, check for new ones. Fall is the slow season for many local attractions.
