Do you visit museums when you go on vacation?

It depends on the city I am visiting. When we go to DC we love to visit all the museums. In NYC we go to the museum of natural history. They are great and are an inexpensive way to spend a day. We also will do maybe a minor league ball game or car race. something the locals would do. Maybe a flea market or carnival too.

I like some museums. I love natural history museums, where you can see dinosaur bones, and prehistoric animal exhibits. But I'm not really interested in train museums, or war museums and things like that.

My last trip was to South Africa. In Cape Town I visited a Jewish museum and an art gallery. Along the Garden Route I went to a maritime museum. Last year in the Baltic Countries I visited some Jewish museums. Cities offer walks where I can enjoy looking at historic buildings. I love to go up to a view point where I can take photos. I like to go to parks and gardens. Sometimes I can visit a castle. I especially like to go to tropical beaches where I can do some snorkeling around the colorful reef. I like adventure more than I appreciate relaxation. Typically on a trip I visit at least five different places like a city, a beach, the countryside, a town and an island.

It depends on the vacation. But so far since being married I have taken two vacations with my spouse and on both we did visit a museum or two. We aslo like to do alot of outdoors types of things like hiking, fishing and the such.

When I visit a new town I usually visit some of the museums. I am an artist and I love to visit art museums and other kinds of museums. I also like to visit some of the different galleries. I am interested in architechture, too, and when I visit a new town I like to walk around and look at the different houses. I like to go swimming at the beach and I like to enjoy the sunshine, but I am not the kind of person who can spend weeks at the beach, a day or two at the beach is enough for me.

I love to go visit museums in foreign countries as I like to get an idea of that country's history. I like doing all the other stuff too, but in order to appreciate the culture of a city, I think you do need to check out local museums to get a deeper understanding.

I love going to museums!! I'm actually on a business trip with my fiancee right now. When we head to the next city, I'm going to visit the zoo and science museum there! It'll be something fun and cheap to do. I can't wait.

Hi Kykidd, I think it's a very good idea to visit the museums when you travel to different countries or cities. You can understand the history and the culture by visiting the museums. I have some friends who love to visit the museums, you will be so surprise to see all the creations from the past. i think i will do that if i ever travel far again! Thanks for the reminder!

Of course it depends where I go for a vacation. But if I go to a mayor city, I immediatly ask the tourist information office where are the museaums and ask for brochures if they have them. At some other places, the importance lies in nature. And sometimes it is not inside a museum where you most learn.

No. I visit museum only when i had a study tour with my school. When i vacation, i always spent my time at some interesting place such as beach and crowded place.

I think museums are pretty fun to go to like the ones in D.C. and i was just out in San Diego and checked out a couple of the museums out there. Balboa Park museum was really cool and so was the San Diego air and space museum. But most of the time when i go on vacation i just go out to the beach and relax, so i dont have any kind of schedule.
