We’ve been to the EMP a few times and I have mixed feelings about it. I was a teenager in the 90’s…so this place is especially awesome with all its grunge roots. But, you really have to be into music to truly appreciate it. Upstairs is an area where you can have jam sessions, which is great if you actually know how to play the instruments…not so great if you don’t. They also have mixing booths and turntables to scratch on. Again, great if you know what you are doing…otherwise you are just playing with knobs and dials. The rotating exhibits are interesting, the last two times I went there were some pretty cool Beatles and Hendrix exhibits that I would have enjoyed looking at, but the kids were bored. Bummer. The science fiction is cool if you are into that sort of thing, which it sounds like you are. My kids are a little on the young side for that. All in all, it just depends on the people going. I would never go if you weren’t a fanatic of either Sci-Fi or music. I am glad to see how the prices have gone down, because I know when it first opened, they were unrealistic and the tickets were like $35-40 a person! The groupon is an awesome deal that I think I may take advantage of…one more fun thing to do when school is out!

Yes, I have bought coupons on ebay before. If I am buying them for an upcoming sale I try to find ones that are “Buy it Now”, or ones that are close to Washington, so I can get them quicker.

I recently bought 2.00 All coupons, so I could use them for this deal here:

Sweet! We bought our family membership last year for $75.00.

Hey, have you ever bought coupons on ebay?

CHRISTY,

BRIAN AND I WENT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. IT WILL BE A HIT WITH YOUR FAMILY. I THINK THAT FAMILIES WITH TEENAGERS WILL LOVE THIS MORE THAN FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN. I WANT TO GET THIS MEMBERSHIP. THANKS FOR THE INFO.

My husband and I went to this museum several years ago and had a blast. We would love to be able to take our kids there. My husband is quite the guitar nut and there was the history of guitars which he loved, there was also a tribute to Jimmy buffett that was pretty cool. They also had this “lab” area where you could learn to play a rift from a song on several instruments. I brageed to my kids that I learned to play bass there. If you are into music it is a great place to go. If we were closer we would definately get a membership, we still might go in on this one though.
