We have a zoo pass too! We probably won't go much during the summer though, because it gets very crowded. I just took advantage of the free zoo member's day at the Aviary.

Our Disney passes just expired but I guess it's a little far away now.

We had aquarium passes two years ago and went often. We really loved going into the city. Problem was parking still cost $10 a trip -- plus now the gas!!!!

We calculated season passes to the County pool to be a "deal" we would need to go more than 20 times. I don't know if we would go that often because its terrible times that its open. Its not opened in the mornings or evenings. Onlyfrom 1 to 6. I don't like being outside then.

We go to my girlfriend's neighborhood pool and pay a visitors fee of $1 each. I like going in the evenings when the sun doesn't shine on you and crisp your skin.

Sea World.

With 6 in our family, it's not cheap, but we only need to go 2 times to "pay" for the pass. We go about 1-2 a week, so we'll get our money's worth this summer.

We have zoo passes and ended up going about once a month during the school year, but with summer here we will probable go more often. They pretty much pay for themselves. There's also have a little water park so that's a definite plus for the kids. We also bought passes to Disney...Pay for 3 days, play for 4 days. It came out to about $35/day. We have 6 months to use them with 2 more days left.

We have Six Flags season passes. We have been twice already. Probably will go one more this summer and then go at Christmas for Holiday in the Park.

Me and the kids have Dollywood season passes. We've been once this year and plan on going again in a couple of weeks. We get them on sale before the season starts which is much cheaper. We try to go 6- 8 times a year, to get our moneys worth.

My city issues beach stickers for $20 to its residents. So I got my beach sticker for the 2008 summer.

We always get a zoo pass - it is a huge savings because we go year round and hit all the special events. I'm considering a pool pass after our pool visit yesterday - DS LOVED IT!!!
