Our museum hosts a very large week-long event every year (our bread and
butter) and we give discounts to Florida Residents on one day of the
event, usually Sunday.  This event is like a fair, though, so it may not
apply to you.  We do not charge extra at the museum door for
out-of-staters, but I have worked for other museums that gave discounts
off and on to the locals.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Admission fees for out of state and tour fees

Hello all,
Does your institution charge a different rate for out-of-state admission
fees? If so, how is this justified?  Is it that residents pay taxes and
thus should be charged less?
Maybe this is not a state-thing, but a city thing.  I was just in
Chicago and I believe the Shedd gives discounts to Chicago residents. 
Does your institution give any breaks based on geography?

Secondly, does you instituion charge for guided tours?  How much?

I appreciate any replys to [log in to unmask] Thanks Dan
