Saving Money on Travel: Free Attractions

If you are going to be traveling within the US this summer, you will want to check out Free-Attractions.com. It has listings for free museums, parks, concerts, parades, festivals, and zoos in over 1,500 US cities.

It’s also a fantastic resource for planning a “staycation”. Search their database for attractions in your area and enjoy events for FREE! I was really surprised to see all the listings in my own area including attractions I didn’t even know about!
