Are you planning to travel? Do you love going into museums or science centers? Would you like to get in free to a bunch of places?
The Cleveland Museum of Natural History Cleveland Museum of Natural History [blackbaudhosting.com] is having a special on their "Pack" membership - $75 (50% off) for a year of membership. The Pack membership includes 1 year of admission for 2 adults + children of the household + caregiver pass + 2 guests per visit. Reciprocity with ASTC, NARM, and ROAM.
Enroll in auto renew and receive 50% with the code JOINTHEPACK
Note: museum memberships and reciprocal organizations are pretty scattered, but (a) it's rare to see an ASTC, ROAM, and NARM under a single banner (the one in Calif that used to have it no longer does) and (b) you generally need to be more than (15/25/50/90 miles) from your "home" museum (and your home for science centers) to get reciprocal benefits. That's to keep big museums from poaching entry fees from members in their own metro area, of course, but it can drive some frugal users to get an out-of-state membership and bypass all the locals. There is very little within 90 miles of Cleveland, so you're unlikely to hit a blackout museum.
Okay, but what kind of coverage are we looking at? Here links to the three lists:
ASTC - https://www.astc.org/membership/f.../passport/
ROAM - https://sites.google.co
NARM - https://narmassociation
That's a lot of museums in a lot of cities. For $75 there's a good chance it will pay for itself in a single visit - definitely so if you have a couple of kids. And science centers are a great way to keep younger kids entertained for half a day.

Disclaimer: there is no disclaimer; I'm not affiliated with the Cleveland Museum in any way except that I bought this (at full price) for my family earlier this year. Heck, I don't even live in Cleveland. I've only had the chance to use it once so far and was given the "premium" wrist band for access to all of the museum extras just by mentioning we were ROAM members. YMMV (we also made a small donation on the way out; I'm cheap, but not heartless)

- You will get your membership in the mail but many now have digital memberships. You can use either for the NARM Benefit.
- In my experience, every museum I've gone to didn't check I had a membership to the original museum. I just mentioned I wanted to use my NARM benefit.
- Many museums with NARM benefits will have a special "$0" price tag when buying tickets online or a promo code you use for NARM tickets. I successfully bought the tickets and no one checked for eligibility at the door so it was seamless.
- For NARM, the stipulation I've seen is the # of free tickets is usually equal to the package you bought at the original museum. If you bought a solo membership, 1 free ticket. Family membership, 2 free tickets.
- OP mentions there are no blackouts in the Cleveland area. The botanical gardens are fantastic in Cleveland and is on the black out list.
- NARM membership list is here: https://narmassociation
Edit: I forgot to mention this, but keep in mind a number of museums on all the lists always have free entry. I find it a bit dishonest that the list gets bloated by free museums.

EDIT: found a form on the museum's site with a membership application and address you can mail a check to!...i think if you visit even one place in any State, you will break even.

From COSI's website:
The ASTC Travel Passport Program entitles members of participating museums free or discounted admission at 360+ ASTC (Association of Science-Technology Centers) museums. COSI will admit a maximum of two adults and four youth (age 18 and under) that are on a reciprocal membership. ASTC members must present their participating museum's membership card and photo ID with their advanced COSI reservations at the Admission Desk.
Note: ASTC reciprocal admission benefits do not apply to members whose place of residence is less than 90 miles from COSI. Per ASTC policy, this distance is measured "as the crow flies", meaning that it is based on a straight line between your residence and COSI, not driving distance.
We went about a dozen times and they never checked address, even though it says on their website they check...I'm wondering if after COVID and having to get pre-admission scheduled if they check it now or still lax on the policy.

Does the membership card itself has your home address (where card was shipped) on it?
