When asked to posit the most exciting place to take your partner, child, child's mail carrier, or professor's gracefully aging mom, most people say "a mall" or "ketchup" said "the museum, of course." Today's side deal gets you and your clan a one-year family membership to The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Washington for $27. You'll receive unlimited admission for two adults and four youthies under 18, as well as free early admission to such special events as Dinosaur Day on March 6, new-exhibit preview parties, and the annual "Behind-the-Scenes Night," plus 10% off at both the gift shop and Burke Café. Your Burke Museum membership will also get you reciprocal admission at the Port Townsend Marine Science Center and Stonerose Fossil Center in Republic, WA.

The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture combines permanent and rotating exhibits such as The Life and Times of Washington State exhibit, which guides the viewer through the state's ancient timeline from the age of mammoths to the mammoth modern age of humans. Through May 31, the museum proudly displays the Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway exhibit, where you can see how professionally excavated fossils compare against the trilobite farm you recently found in the bathtub.
