VISIT

There are plenty of activities related to Arts in South Florida. Here is a list of activities that you may enjoy on a regular basis and free of charge. 

-Free Museums Day! 

Visiting museums can get expensive, particularly if you take the whole family. But 

many South Florida museums have free admission at least once a month 

(second Saturday of each month), and some schedule special activities on 

those days. Then you can actually afford to buy snacks or buy your kids a 

souvenir.

Sunday of every month, 2-4 p.m. Activities include art projects,
