Fun, Free Trips for Seniors!

 

If you are a senior, or are a caregiver you will understand how important it is to remain active. However, seniors often live on a fixed income, which puts limits on what they can do financially in terms of recreation and travel. We have great news for you though! There are plently of fun things for seniors to do that won't put a strain on their wallet, it just takes a little research. The list below will offer a few suggestions for day trips that do not cost a thing! These types of trips are a great way to get seniors out of the house, while providing some exercise and socialization.
 
1. When was the last time you visited the State Capitol? Probably many years ago, if ever. The State Capitol is open to the public and offers guided tours. This is a wonderful way to learn new things about the state you live in as well as a great way to spend the day without having to worry about what it will cost.
 
2. When going on a day trip to the State Capitol, or anywhere else, pack your own lunch. The buildings are usually situated on landscaped grounds that make for the perfect picnic location.
 
3. Do not forget to inquire about other public buildings. These buildings are paid for by your tax dollars, so feel free to enjoy them. The same goes for state parks and forests.
 

4. If you are still searching for a unique day trip, try a guided tour of the Governor's Mansion!
