What are the absolute best bargains for tourism/sightseeing that you have experienced?
We love to see America and it's always great to find a hidden gem that's fun, educational and inexpensive. I don't mean you got in free because the clerk messed up your ticket price, but those truly affordable, don't-miss-when-you-are-in-town spots.
I can think of three off the top of my head:
Celestial Seasonings Free Factory Tour in Boulder, Co. Free samples of unique tea, a factory tour, and even the gift shop has affordable items. (Tour not for kids under age 5.)
Kit Carson Carousel in Burlington, Co. Historic carousel, just off I-70 and the rides are 25 cents per person! There is also a museum for $1.
Rocky Mountain National Park, Co. $20 gets your entire family in for one week. We love spending the week exploring, hiking, picnicking in this gorgeous park.
Just realized these are all in Colorado, although I'm not from the great state--but I'd like to be! What are your best values in America? I'm making a list for future trips!
