You Should Be Taking Advantage of These 50 Freebies

NATIONAL PARKS

There are four days when you can get into national parks for free: Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday on Jan. 15; the first day of National Parks Week during the third week of April; National Public Lands Day on Sept. 22; and Veterans Day on Nov. 11.

BEER

This one is easy: Take a brewery tour and be 21 or older. The Samuel Adams brewery in Boston offers beer at the end of its tour, as does the Anheuser-Busch InBev brewery in St. Louis, the D.L. Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, the Coors brewery in Golden, Colorado … actually, many of the more than 6,000 breweries in the U.S. make beer samples a staple of their tour.
