weekend of the month, museum admission is free to cardholders to over 70 museums in the US. In New York, this allows admission to the New York Aquarium, Bronx Zoo, Jewish Museum, International Center of Photography and New York Hall of Science. The Met and Natural History museum are also listed, but since those are almost free anyways, it is not as much of a savings.
