Really nice ticket packages for the King Tut exhibit

This is one of four bejeweled coffinettes that held mummified organs of King Tut.

If you're like me, you're watching every penny you spend these days.

You want to see the King Tut exhibit in Atlanta, but when you add up the gas to drive to Atlanta and the ticket price, it's probably a little expensive, especially if you've some kids who really want to see the exhibit, too. You'll also have to add the price of a meal while you're up there.

If you're looking for a way to save some money, there are three ticket packages that are now available.

The Last-Minute Holiday Gift Package is $50 and includes two VIP tickets, which are good for any day and any time during regular hours, two audio tours, narrated by Harrison Ford and a National Geographic DVD of your choice from the gift shop. The package is available through Dec. 24.

The Discounted Family Days is $46 for a family of four for any day of the week through mid-January.

Two-for-One Adult Tickets are available through the holidays until Jan. 15.

The hours of the exhibit, at the Atlanta Civic Center, 395 Piedmont Ave. N.E., are 9 a.m.-7 p.m. daily, with the last ticket sold at 5 p.m. (except 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Christmas Eve, with the last ticket sold at 2:30 p.m.). It's closed Christmas Day.

Regular tickets are $16.50-$32.50.
