The HI USA Free For All Reveals 100+ Free Things To Do Across U.S.
Silver Spring, MD (PRWEB) October 06, 2014 -- To show how accessible travel can be regardless of budget, Hostelling International USA (HI USA) created the HI USA Free For All, which is a compilation of some the best free things to do in major cities across the U.S. And they’re not the obvious, already-been-done-before type of things you can read about in any guidebook. They’re the hidden gems cherished by locals. A twist on the old favorites. And some of them might surprise you.
Here are some of the highlights you’ll find:
• How to see a close up of the Statue of Liberty, get to Staten Island, and visit the Staten Island Zoo for free.
• Where to take in sweeping view of Boston, complete with complimentary binoculars.
• A historic park in DC that has a drum circle every Sunday, as well as panoramic city views.
• The place in Chicago for a free Jazz concert, without paying the $20 cover charge.
“What’s great about the events and activities on these lists is that they’re local secrets, filled with culture, history, and a taste of the town’s true character,” says HI USA CEO Russ Hedge. “Even in some of America’s most expensive cities, you don’t have to spend a dollar to be wowed, enriched, or inspired.”
HI USA believes travel should be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget, because it drives our mission to promote a dynamic community of global citizens who have the wisdom and humanity to make the world a better place. It’s not idealistic; it’s the power of travel.
