Welcome! I'm a mom of four, navigating family life in beautiful Folsom, California, and sharing our favorite local spots, events, and family adventures to help other families discover the endless fun our community has to offer.
Yearly and Annual Memberships
My family and I love exploring this amazing area that we live in. As a homeschool family we believe the world is the classroom. We love the freedom that having memberships for museums and theme parks gives us. It saves us money and gives our family activities to do when we are just sitting around. I have created a list of my favorite membership passes. Yes, we have had memberships to ALL of these places at different times over the past 10 years. One benefit that I love, is that depending on what membership you get, your family then qualifies to go to other specific venues for FREE! Example: You pay for one zoo membership and then get access to ALL of the local zoos at either a discount or for FREE! It is a win - win! If you know of other great memberships or reciprocal programs in Northern California that I've missed, please email me at family@raising4harrisons.com. I'm always looking to expand this resource! I have also shared with you some information about how to enjoy some of these locations for little to no cost. Please enjoy and share this with your family and friends.
