Free Museums and National Park Entrance This Saturday
Every dime counts in this environment and this Saturday travelers can take advantage of free entrance into U.S. museums and national parks.
The fifth annual Museum Day, run by Smithsonian Magazine, will be the largest to date with more than 1,200 museums offering free admission all day.
Find out how you can take advantage of these free activities…
With the current state of the economy, this year’s Museum Day is expected to make a big difference for those who would otherwise be deterred by admission prices.
In addition, September 26 is also National Public Lands Day, offering free entrance to any unit in the National Park system.
The National Park Service encourages visitors to participate in hands-on volunteer programs on this annual event, and is also promoting the premiere of Ken Burns’ documentary, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea premiering the next night on PBS.
