One of the best such government deals in the US for seniors is the 
"Senior Pass" (which used to be called the Golden Age Passport).  The 
Senior Pass allows free entrance to all of the national parks and 
wildlife refuges in the United States.  Citizens and permanent residents 
may buy one at age 62 for $10.  It's valid for life and can be purchased 
at any park or refuge.
