Kids get in free!

I’m always looking for new things to do with my 2-year-old.  One of the best things about our weekend outings is that almost anywhere I take him, he gets in free.  So I thought it might be helpful to other parents if I compiled a list of the most popular things to do with kids in the metro area where they can get in at no charge.
