photo by Real Traveler Spikus

During any vacation, day trip or weekend getaway, add a trip to a nature, history, science or art museum for an experience like none other. Always inspiring, museums offer insight into different cultures, points of view, and periods of history. Often free for children, or adults on certain days, museums provide a quick escape on cold, rainy or hot days. Check with the museum for prices and discounts - they may even provide you with the times of days to visit in order to avoid the crowd.
