  1. The Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, is always free and looks forward to seeing visitors enjoy its collection of American art. Our Family Fundays are now held quarterly, and we have even more fun family programs throughout the year. For more information, visit www.cartermuseum.org/calendar or call the museum's education department.

  2. I live in Minneapolis and I thought that I'd add that in addition to Target Free Thursday nights at The Walker, it is also free every 1st Saturday of the month from 10 am to 5 pm.
