Thanks to a really great RAMP tax there are lots of free museums/fun parks/etc open every Saturday in the summer. We went to the summer arts festival at Union Station where all the museums were free. I'd never been before because I never wanted to pay the money for what I was sure wasn't going to be worth it. After seeing the museums.....my assumptions were pretty accurate. The train museum was actually almost worth it - but all the others were not. I know I have pretty high standards, though. I think that a few trips to the Smithsonian ruined most every other museum for me. I thought that many of the museums in San Diego's Balboa Park were pretty crummy. In fact....I will give Union Station this.....their train museum was better than the one in San Diego in some ways. Union Station was much more interactive (trains to climb. etc...) The models at Union Station didn't hold a candle to the ones in CA, but I did enjoy the train museum as much as someone uninterested in trains can :) Here are some pics from the car museum.
