A tycoon has opened an enormous science museum in your city, the largest in the world. It has thousands of exhibits on every scientific and mathematical topic under the sun, along with thousands of desks and couches for quiet reading. There are IMAXs, flight simulators, replicas of spacecraft, a retired Boeing 747, food court, Starbucks. It is open from 11 AM to 11 PM every day.

Only problem is, admission is $60 for adults and $15 for kids. The tycoon defends such prices by saying he paid for the billion-dollar museum entirely out of pocket (no taxpayer funding) and the operating expenses are half a million dollars per day. Other problem: the museum is in a rather remote location and needs 40-50 minutes’ drive on even the best of days to get there.

How often do you go, with or without your kids?

  • never
  • once
  • once or a few times a year
  • once or a few times per month
  • all the time
