Alamo Drafthouse: Moviegoers ages 60-plus can view weekday shows before 2pm for only $6, less than half of the general admissions price of $13.75. That special low pricing applies all day on Wednesday for the chain’s Senior Day. See here for locations. Amtrak: Travelers ages 65 and over can receive a 10% discount on most rail fares on most Amtrak trains. Kathy Levine, 70, of Long Beach, N.Y. uses the discount frequently to visit her daughter and granddaughter 200 miles away. “I prefer not to drive the four hours it takes,” says Levine. “The Amtrak discount allows me to see them more often.”
