Museums are a great activity for a family vacation.  They offer hours of entertainment and learning opportunities.  But they can be a bit expensive, especially with the whole family in tow.

So what if we told you on Saturday, September 24 you could get into hundreds of museums across the country for FREE!

Smithsonian Magazine is sponsoring Museum Day this Saturday and offering two free tickets to tons of participating museums in the United States.

Click here to see the list of 2011 museums.  You can view by address to see which museums near you are on the list.  Or, if you are traveling with the kids this weekend, you can view state-by-state to see if a museum in your chosen destination is participating.

But you better get in line early.  Museums will only honor the tickets until they reach capacity, so set your alarm clocks and get the family on the move that day.
