Now that folks are traveling more again, I know that many of you are also trying to go on trips while sticking to a budget! A change of scenery is great for a vacation, but things can add up once you get there. One way to remedy this is to seek out free things to do wherever you’re headed. There are usually parks, museums, and historic sites that are totally free to the public and that are super fun for the whole family. If you’re headed to the horse racing capital of America, then check out this list of 25 free things to do in Lexington KY.
