Families looking to get the most out of their summer fun funds can find a bargain with the new Dual Discovery Pass. Recently launched at the South Florida Science Museum and the Palm Beach Zoo, the Dual Discovery Pass offers Palm Beach County residents a 30 percent savings on entry prices to the two attractions when purchased together as one ticket. Out-of-county guests receive a 20 percent savings when purchasing a dual pass.
“The South Florida Science Museum and the Palm Beach Zoo are great neighbors,” SFSM CEO Lew Crampton said. “The Dual Discovery Pass allows our two organizations to collaborate to bring families to our shared destination in West Palm Beach’s Dreher Park. While the savings are our way of thanking Palm Beach County residents for their long history of support, we think families will love the idea of combining education and entertainment with lots of fun at one centralized area.”
Guests can purchase the dual discovery pass on-site at either location. The pass is nontransferable, but the buyer can use the pass for one full day of general admission at the science museum, and then use the same pass at the zoo, weeks later, for another full day of general admission at that location.
“We know that guests can’t explore all that both attractions have to offer in just one day,” Palm Beach Zoo President and CEO Andrew Aiken said, “so the Dual Discovery Pass gives them the upfront savings and the flexibility of exploring each attraction on its own to its very fullest. We launched the new combined ticket during the summer, as we know it will be a tremendous draw for families who want to get to both venues while the kids are out of school, but are also looking for ways to stretch their entertainment dollars. We have them covered now, with savings, rain or shine!”
For Palm Beach County residents, Dual Discovery Passes are $21.60 for adults, $19.15 for seniors and $15.30 for children (ages 3-12 years). Palm Beach County guests must present a valid photo ID as proof of residency. Out-of-county guests can combine the two tickets with Dual Discovery Passes at $24.70 for adults, $21.90 for seniors and $17.50 for children.
