Free things to do in Pennsylvania

59 Pennsylvania attractions you can walk into for nothing, and 3 more with a free day or evening open to everyone.

Not a coupon list. A venue is here only if its own website says admission is free, or names a regular free day that anyone can use. Free-for-some offers — residents, military, EBT cardholders, children — stay on the venue’s own page under “If you qualify”, because they are savings, not free days.

Always free
