Museums for FREE

I don't know about you, but these days I'm especially fond of anything FREE. Granted, living in Orange County provides lots of FREE activities... beaches, regional parks & city parks, just to name a few. But did you know that you can visit several of our local museums for FREE? Yep, yep! This is definitely one of Orange County's best-kept secrets.
