Here’s the best way to get a huge discount on USS Midway Museum admission for your family:
1. Start at Ebates.
- Ebates almost always offers at least 6% cash back on Groupon! Plus, I’ve received special Groupon incentives from Ebates like $10 cash back on a single purchase.
- Get a $10 gift card on your first $25 purchase when you sign up for Ebates with my link.
2. Check for Groupon coupon codes.
- Groupon 50% coupon code FIFTY valid 1/19/2018 and 1/20/2018.
- If you’ve already signed up with Groupon, check your email for coupon codes if you miss the 50% off code.
- If you don’t have a Groupon account, you can sign up for Groupon here and Groupon will email you whenever there’s a promo code.
3. On Groupon, look up “USS Iowa” in Los Angeles or Orange County or San Diego.
- You want to visit the USS Midway Museum, but USS Midway does NOT allow coupon codes on Groupon.
- Buy the USS Iowa Family Membership instead, for $50.
- Use coupon code FIFTY to get 50% off and pay just $25 for your annual Family Membership to the Battleship Iowa Museum in L.A.!
- If you miss the Groupon FIFTY code, this is still an amazing deal; here’s why:
4. Get FREE reciprocal membership to the USS Midway Museum in San Diego with your Battleship Iowa Family Membership!
