Love Your Teachers

As I was checking my Facebook the other day, a friend from college was excited about getting a free admission ticket to the Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga, TN for simply asking if they gave a teacher discount and showing her school ID. My family is all the time looking for fun things to do but on my husband's teacher salary it can be hard to throw down a $100 or more on a day of fun. That post inspired me to search the internet for other places that may offer free admission or discounted offers for teachers in Tennessee. Below are just a few of the offers that I found:

• Adventure Science Center in Nashville offers free admission with school ID http://www.adventuresci.com/
• Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga is hosting Teacher Appreciation Day Jan.16th 2012. Free Admission for Teachers with one guest. http://www.tnaqua.org/Education/TeacherOpportunities.aspx 
• Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville offers free admission with school ID http://countrymusichalloffame.org/teacher-s-resources/
• Nashville Zoo offers $10 off family membership with school ID/teacher license or $1 off general admission with TEA membership card. http://www.nashvillezoo.org/membership

• Free admission to Nashville Opera with purchase of ticket of equal or greater value.
• Free admission to Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville (Now don't get too crazy!)

Trust me there are too many to list! So anytime the family is in need of a family day of fun, please plan ahead and surf the web for great deals in your area! If you are not the planning type, don't be afraid to ask an employee of the place where you are visiting to see if they offer any special discounts for teachers, military, senior citizens, etc...if you don't you could be missing out on a great deal!
