Head out to the open ocean for whale watching on the port of Galilee. The warm waters are home to many beautiful finback whales during the summer, and guests have even spotted humpbacks, minke, pilot, and false killer whales. While typical tickets are typically $50, seniors can get a $5 discount on their reservation.

2.PawSox game

General admission tickets are such a good deal as a senior that even those who don’t like baseball will want to show up for a day at the ballpark! Seniors can enjoy tickets as low as $6 when they purchase them ahead of game day.

3.RISD Museum, Providence, RI

Van Gogh, Roman sarcophaguses, contemporary art—you’ll find incredible art, new and old, at the museum maintained by the Rhode Island School of Design.
