#4 of 10:  Seattle, Washington

Seattle

The outdoor beauty of the Pacific Northwest is its main attraction, making it almost unnecessary to go inside at all. But there are plenty of both in Seattle, from the original Nordstrom's department store to walks or drives around one of the city's many lakes and bays. Don't miss:

  • Pike Place Market
    Free.

    This famous indoor-outdoor marketplace offers the quintessential Seattle experience. Sample local seafood, pick up cool souvenirs or simply watch the fish-throwers at work.

  • Olympic Sculpture Park
    Free.

    Enjoy a gorgeous view from this free, waterfront park and permanent outdoor art exhibition. Larger-than-life sculptures and plenty of space to roam are great for energetic little ones, and a café and pavilion offer respite on chilly days.

  • Museum of Flight
    Free the first Thursday of each month.

    Plan your visit to take advantage of free admission to this amazing museum, actually located in nearby Tukwila, Washington. Aviation fans will be captivated by the plethora of planes, plus interactive exhibits and models kids can climb on.

Next: Boston

Next City on the Cheap: Boston, Massachusetts

I went to MS&I in chicago a few years ago on a free day and it was a mad house. I would suggest paying admission it is a lot less bussy and worth the admission to avoid the crowds.

Hi Gang, Ellory from Chicago here. It's true that Chicago is a great place to visit. Here's another tip. Check out the Field Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry Calendars before you go. They too have free days! This does not include special events or special exibits. But hey...free is free! And there's alot to see without the special stuff!
