Almost every destination has great things to do for little or nothing. A bit of research before you go fills the itinerary for free.

Where to look

  • City and state parks, beaches and trails
  • Free museum days and pay-what-you-wish hours
  • National park fee-free days, or an annual pass if you'll visit several parks
  • Tip-based walking tours
  • Local event calendars: concerts, markets and festivals
  • Your library card: some libraries partner with museums nationwide
