Free weekends at Florida museums

Teresa | April 29, 2009

It’s the first weekend of the month, and that means Bank of America customers can visit museums free through the bank’s Museums On Us program. Just show your Bank of America credit or debit card Saturday, May 2, or Sunday, May 3, and you’ll get free admission to more than 120 museums and attractions in cities across the United States.

There have been a few changes to the program since last month. Nationwide, more than 40 museums have been added, including museums in Jacksonville and the Tampa/St. Petersburg area.

In South Florida, two new museums have joined, but the Morikiami Museum in Delray Beach is no longer participating.

Here’s the current Florida lineup:

In Palm Beach County, you can make a free visit to the South Florida Science Museum in West Palm Beach.

In Broward County, you’ll find deals for free admission to the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Discovery and Science ,the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale plus Young At Art Children’s Museum in Davie.

In Miami-Dade, you can use your card for free admission to the Miami Art Museum, Miami Children’s Museum, Miami Science Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami and the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach.

In Jacksonville, the deal is good at the Museum of Contemporary Art and The Museum of Science and History.

In the Tampa Bay area, you can get free admission to the Florida Holocaust Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, both in St. Petersburg.
