Discounts for Local Attractions: Northern Delaware

Now that we're not paying for daycare, I feel the need to take the toddler out as much as possible for enrichment activities and to spend time with other kids.  I'm trying to find all the possible discounts and best days to go to the local attractions.  This is what I've found:

Discounts in Delaware

The Brandywine Zoo (Story Time Thursdays:  10:30 or 11:30) (Aug. 16^th, Family Fun Night $1)

DE Children’s Museum (June 20^th, July 11th, Aug. 15^th are the $2 nights from 5-7)

Philadelphia Zoo:  Teachers get free admission when registered by the end of June.  (Parking and rides will still be expensive.)

Brandywine Treasure Trail Passport-good through September 5^th

$35 for individually, $75 for a family pass.  I’m considering just getting the individually pass for myself, since 2 year olds are free at most of these places.
