It costs a lot these days to fly or even drive somewhere. Then you have to pay for a hotel, pay for food, and probably pay for every little thing you go out and do. It can really break the bank. But, it doesn't have to. At least not if you find yourself in one of the ten cities featured in Yahoo Travel's "America's best free attractions" list.
The list includes a few parks from across the country, including the International Rose Test Garden. 4 1/2 acres of roses and other species of flora. That's a lot of rose sniffing to do. The Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago is free, as is the Smithsonian National Zoo in D.C. In fact, there's a lot in D.C. that is free (one of the cheapest vacations I've had in awhile). Yahoo's article mentions the mall, but also check out any of the Smithsonian museums and national monuments without paying a cent.
So it might still cost you your life savings to get to some of these locations, but at least you won't have to dip too deeply into your pockets once you're there!
Here's Yahoo's full list. - Sorry, this list is no longer available.
