Senior Discounts in Los Angeles<\/h1>\n

\"Senior<\/p>\n

The great thing about assisted living in Los Angeles<\/span><\/a> is you\u2019ll never run out of things to do. The city offers some of the country\u2019s best museums and performing arts spaces, an endless menu of restaurants, shopping for all budgets, and beautiful parks and beaches. To help your budget keep pace with your options, check out these LA-area senior discounts on everything from bus fare to battleship tours.<\/p>\n

Getting around Los Angeles<\/h2>\n

Driving in LA can be intimidating, thanks to the city\u2019s vast size and crowded roadways. Two inexpensive alternatives are Santa Monica\u2019s Big Blue Bus<\/strong> service and the LA Metro<\/strong>. Big Blue Bus serves Santa Monica proper and extends north to UCLA and south to Los Angeles International Airport. Seniors age 62 and up get 50% off fares and transfers to LA Metro, which offers senior fare discounts of up to 80%. Frequent Metro riders can get a free senior TAP card and a 30-day pass for just $20.<\/p>\n

Fresh food at local farmer\u2019s markets in L.A.<\/h2>\n

Dozens of state-certified farmer\u2019s markets in Los Angeles County participate in the Senior Farmer\u2019s Market Nutrition Program<\/strong> (SFMNP). Seniors with qualifying incomes can use SFMNP check booklets to buy locally grown produce, honey, and fresh herbs. Booklets are distributed through local area agencies on aging.<\/p>\n

Lifelong learning for less<\/h2>\n

Explore topics you\u2019ve always wanted to know more about or try something completely new through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UCLA<\/strong>. OLLI program members attend campus-based courses on history, science, foreign-language study, and much more. Plus-level members get \u201csignificantly reduced\u201d fees on courses, a great deal for seniors who take several courses per year.<\/p>\n

Senior deals on arts and culture<\/h2>\n

The best-regarded museum in LA is also the best deal around. The Getty Center<\/strong> is an internationally renowned center for modern architecture, American art, and European art dating to the Middle Ages. Admission to the Getty Center is always free. (Parking is not, so if you drive plan to spend $15.)<\/p>\n

Film fans can experience Oscar Night magic on a Dolby Theatre<\/strong> tour. The home of the Academy Awards offers a discount for guests age 65 and up. Get a behind the scenes look at the theater and check out Academy Awards memorabilia.<\/p>\n

Hot deals for history buffs<\/h2>\n

LA\u2019s reputation as a \u201ccity without a past\u201d is proved wrong at several popular historical attractions that offer senior discounts on admission. Visitors to the Battleship USS Iowa Museum<\/strong> learn about the ship\u2019s half-century of service through three wars and about the naval history of the LA Waterfront. The Autry National Center of the American West<\/strong> in Griffith Park has a collection of more than half a million artifacts spanning the history of the region. And for pre-history, it\u2019s hard to beat the Page Museum at La Brea Tar Pits<\/strong>, where paleontologists are still finding fossils in Pleistocene-era oozing tar.<\/p>\n

You can find lots more senior discounts in Los Angeles, and remember that it never hurts to ask whenever you\u2019re shopping or booking tickets. Stretch your budget and expand your horizons with all there is to do in LA.<\/p>\n
