Central Florida parents love annual passes and memberships to Orlando museums and attractions because memberships often include exclusive perks and freebies that add great value for families. Here’s our list of the best family memberships in Orlando.
Learn Together
Orlando Science Center Membership is perfect for families who love to learn together and be interactive. On top of free admission to exhibits and events, members get discounts on just about everything else: classes, camps, birthday parties, gift shop merch, events and more. Members also get access to exclusive events for all ages!
The Central Florida Zoo Annual Pass is good for daily free admission, discounts at the gift shop and even discounts on birthday parties. Families who travel can really make the most of this pass because it’s good at over 150 zoos and aquariums across the country!
A Family Membership at Orange County Regional History Center means everyday unlimited admission—but that’s just the start of the money-saving perks. Members also get two hours of free parking on each visit plus discounts on the History Center’s events and camps.
Drop-and-Shop
O2B Kids Family Members get access to this indoor playground and cafe, as well as 200+ enrichment classes for kids — they have everything ranging from art and tech to gymnastics and dance. In addition, members get two-hours of drop-off care every day for their kids age 6 and up! Check out O2B Kids locations in Oviedo and Altamonte Springs.
Being an IKEA FAMILY Member means more than getting discounts on furniture; it means free access to IKEA Orlando’s Story Time Tuesdays and Kids KAMP crafts. Plus, up to two kids can eat free with an adult IKEA FAMILY Member on Tuesdays.
There is plenty to do at Orlando Museum of Art all year round, and members can make the most of it with free admission to exhibitions—not just at OMA, but at dozens of other museums. This museum sets itself apart with fun events for all ages, and membership offers a discount on those programs as well.
Break a Sweat
The RDV Sportsplex Athletic Club’s Family Membership gives you access to all of your fitness needs; meanwhile, kids get free rein of Kids Stuff, a 15,000 square foot fun zone. The supervised area includes sports, crafts and video games!
Being a member at YMCA of Central Florida means having a one-stop shop for your family’s child care, after-school activities, sports, student mentoring, camps, and of course, self-care. The best part: there are over 20 locations in Central Florida, so there is bound to be one near you.
Orlando Paintball Membership has multiple levels, each one coming with steeper everyday discounts on admission and rentals. What we love is the BYOP membership: bring your own paint and simply pay a $10 fee or buy Orlando Paintball’s discounted off-site paint to waive that fee completely. For ages 10 and up.
Kiddie Culture
The Children’s Series Subscription at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater is valid for one ticket to all three family productions. Season ticket holders are guaranteed the best possible ticket prices, early access to Orlando Shakes events, discounts on youth classes and free backstage tours.
Become a Family Plan Subscriber at the Orlando Repertory Theatre
(the REP) to get a 3-, 6- or 10-show package. Also, subscribers get the first
pick of seats, access to reserved seating in the first three rows and discounts on parties, merchandise and other ticket purchases.
Create and PLAY
It’s hard to find a safe place for your active toddlers, but membership at Amaya Papaya Play Lounge solves that problem. It comes with free admission to the play space, including access to enrichment activities and play groups. Plus, parents get discounts on Amaya Papaya’s other offerings: parties, snacks, merchandise and event tickets.
The Crayola Experience Annual Pass value is insane. For just a few dollars more than the price of a single-day admission, kids get free admission for a year, plus first access to special events. Pass holders even get discounts
on parties and merchandise!
Nature Play
Make it easier for your family to #optoutside by purchasing a Florida State Parks Family Annual Pass at any park ranger station or online that includes park entry for up to a total of eight people entering as a group, except at Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park and Weeki Wachee Springs State Park where the family pass is good for admission of up to two people, and provides a 33% discount at the Skyway Fishing Pier State Park. Here are a few Florida State Parks we love: Wekiwa Springs State Park, Rainbow Springs State Park, Sabastian Inlet State Park, Big Talbot Island State Park, Bahia Honda State Park.
