8.Free Fun Guides
Free Admission to Hundreds of Museums Sept.25
What a weekend!This Saturday,Sept.25,hundreds of U.S.museums are admission free for the Smithsonian's annual Museum Day.
Unlike previous Museum Day celebrations,you must sign up for a free ticket that admits two people to any of the participating museums.That means filling out a form and having the ticket emailed to you.Not bad for a freebie that will give you admission to museums such as the Adler Planetarium in Chicago and the Air & Space Museum in San Diego.
Free Admission to National Parks & Public Lands
Would you rather visit a National Park for free instead of a museum for free?The choice is yours on Saturday,Sept.25,as all 392 National Parks and all other national public lands are admission free for National Public Lands Day.It falls on the same day as the Smithsonian Museum Day,when hundreds of U.S.museums are also admission free.
If you love the outdoors,consider signing up or just show up for one of the volunteer projects at the public lands sites on Saturday.Spend the morning helping clean up and restore our national natural treasures,and then spend the afternoon just enjoying and exploring them.
