When you want something to do but don’t want to break the bank, you can often find things to do just walking out your door like taking a walk or riding a bike. But when that just isn’t what you are looking for, you might try some of these places, where admission is $10 or less, and some are even FREE. Keep in mind, you can end up spending a bit more if you add in souvenirs, food, or if you don’t put a limit on your spending, but at least you won’t empty your wallet just walking in the door.
