Museums are cool, but they're even cooler when you can get into them for free. And that's what's happening on Museum Day, which is this Saturday, September 30th. Museum Day was started by the Smithsonian Institution, and used to be for subscribers to their magazine only, but its now open to the general public and celebrated by museums across the country, including many in the local area, like the African American Museum in Philadelphia, the Civil War and Underground Railroad Museum of Philadelphia, the Institute of Contemporary Art, and the Franklin Institute (you can get the full list of participating museums in your area here). To get free general admission for you and a friend to one of these museums on September 30th, all you have to do is print off this Museum Day card and bring it with you. You'll have to print out one card per museum that the two of you want to go to, but that seems like a small price to pay for free admission.

Fun around town, for $10 or less:
