Museum Day Budget Sheet for Families

Plan the full cost of your family museum day,  even when admission is free.

A museum can be an affordable family day out, but transport, parking, special exhibitions, café stops, children’s activities and the gift shop can quickly add to the cost.

The FAW Museum Day Budget Sheet helps you set your spending limit before you go, plan the little extras and compare your budget with what you actually spend.

What’s Included?

This 4-page printable budget sheet helps you plan and track:

• Museum admission and donations
• Special exhibitions and tours
• Transport and parking
• Food, snacks and drinks
• Children’s activities
• Audio guides and paid experiences
• Cloakroom and locker costs

Free Museum Doesn’t Always Mean a Free Day

Even with free admission, a family museum trip can still come with plenty of extra costs.

Set a realistic budget before you leave home, decide what you’re happy to spend on and keep everything together in one simple sheet.

After your visit, compare your planned budget with your actual spending and use your real costs to make budgeting for your next family day out even easier.
