Chuck E CheesesOk, I found a NEW reading program! Did you know that Chuck E Cheese, or Showbiz Pizza as I still call it (you know you do too), is helping parents reward their kids in several common "parent challenging" areas? Just print off and complete the chart and receive 10 FREE TOKENS! I love how there are charts covering everything from Reading to Teeth Brushing! Although there is a reading chart it seems like you can do this all year round, not just during the summer.

vacationWe know that you all love us so much at Deals for Dayton and wish that you could take us on vacation with you and help you find local deals there too. While we can't do that, unless you REALLY want to bring us with you, we can give you some places that have some great freebies around the US. These deals are not available in the Dayton area, but they might just be where ever you are heading for vacation.

Bank of America Card Holders- get free general admission to several museums, science centers, zoos and more on the first full weekend of each month

National Parks- several national parks offer Fee-Free days throughout the year

Target Arts & Culture- Target sponsors free or reduced-price admission to arts and cultural events nationwide.

Groupon- discounted tickets, coupons and more. Check the city you are planning on visiting for great discounts.

If you are a Boonshoft, other Science Center or even Zoo cardholder, be sure to check out the list of reciprocal museums/zoos that are available. This allows you to get into other museums/ science centers/ zoos for FREE or greatly discounted rates! If your location is included in the list (ie- you hold a pass to the Boonshoft and it's included in the Science Center list) then you can go to any other location on the list also. We have passes to Union Terminal and have gone to 3 other museums around the US already thanks to the Reciprocal Program! In my opinion the Reciprocal Program makes buying a pass for any local museum well worth the money.

Association of Children's Museum

Association of Science- Technology Centers

Association of Zoos and Aquariums
