As you may know, Boston on Budget has a page dedicated to the cheap fun and free things to do in the city. Well, it is updated! Now you will be able to select an activity (like the Museum of Science) and find all the discounts they offer.

Please keep in mind that discounts and deals can change at any time, so it’s best to contact the company directly if you have any questions. I will try to keep this list as up-to-date as possible, and will add new deals and discounts often.

If you know of any deals or discounts in the Boston area, please let me know in the comments or send me an e-mail at Kate @ Bostononbudget.com or tweet me at @Bostononbudget!
