Winter 2020

The cold weather may have you wanting to stay in by the fire, but if you’re looking for activities both indoors and out, MTAB has lots of options for you to consider. You’ll wonder how the winter went by so fast!

The great outdoors

Bring some color to your cheeks! February is a great month to enjoy the outdoors in New England. Snow will be abundant, making it the perfect time to take advantage of member deals on skiing, tubing, snowboarding or snowmobiling. Attitash Ski Resort and Wildcat Mountain are new to the MTAB Discount Directory, joining Wachusett Mountain, Ski Butternut, Killington and the Harris Farm Cross-Country Ski Center in offering member discounts. See the Recreation section of the Discount Directory for details. Head over to the Access nationwide discount program at mtabenefits.com/giveaways-deals to check out SledVentures Snowmobile Rentals in Lincoln, New Hampshire (offering a 10 percent discount on snowmobile tours), Magic Mountain Ski Area in Londonderry, Vermont (save $8 on tubing tickets), or Bear Notch Ski Touring in Bartlett, New Hampshire (save $15 on cross-country skiing or snowshoeing).

If you want something a little slower-paced, consider Cape Pond Ice in Gloucester. Explore the historic icehouse and amazing ice sculptures. MTA members receive 50 percent off admission. Speaking of ice, the Skate@Canal District outdoor rink in Cambridge’s Kendall Square offers a 10 percent discount through the Access program. It’s a great way to enjoy winter in the city.

Test your skills indoors

Forget the gym for a day. Try something just as athletic but probably more fun! Rock Spot Climbing offers an $18-per-day pass with gear or 10 percent off for any group of 10 or more when booked two weeks in advance. Sky Zone Trampoline Park gives members a free 30-minute jump at a later date with purchase of a 60-minute jump (a $9 savings), and a group of six can save 60 percent on tickets for the Zombie Scavengers survival game. Check out these savings, as well as discounts on paintball and bowling, through the Access program.

Museums offer something for everyone

If you’re wondering how to entertain younger children during school vacation week, a museum experience might be the answer. The MTA Benefits Discount Directory will save you money at more than 150 local museums. Discover something new in your area or view the entire list of participating museums. Go to mtabenefits.com/discounts and check "Museums."
