Living in Naples has so many advantages but did you know that a handful of activities can be had for free? Here are some great places to check out and you can leave your purse/wallet at home!
Naples Beaches and the "Beach Parking Sticker"
Enjoy the miles of Naples beaches free of charge with a beach parking sticker! Simply provide proof of residency at one of the many county park community centers and you will be able to park free of charge at the beach of your choice! There is a full list of beach parking sticker locations here.
Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens
Located right across from the Coastland Center Mall, the Naples Zoo offers Naples residents free admission on the first Saturday of every month. With an adult ticket priced at $26.95 and a child's ticket at $17.95, this can be quite the savings! You simply need to show proof of residency and you can get in at any time during the day. Full details are available on their Resident Benefits page.
Rookery Bay Free Saturday
Rookery Bay just brought back their free admission on the second Saturday of the month for Collier County residents. Bring proof of residency and you're in! Enjoy the aquariums, touch tank, trails and more!
Bird Gardens of Naples Free Tours
Free tours occur on Friday, Saturday and Sunday only. Bring some unsalted nuts and blueberries for the birds. Tours start at 11:00am. Read more about the Bird Gardens of Naples and plan your visit!
Baker Museum at Artis
Visit Naples' fine art museum located at Artis near Pelican Bay. There are numerous exhibitions each year and ongoing educational opportunities. Now, this one I was surprised to see but Bank of America customers get free admission to more than 225 museums across the country! Bring your Bank of America or Merrill card and gain free entry!
Collier County Public Library
Of course the library is free! But, did you know the library has free passes to places such as the Golisano Children's Museum of Naples and the aforementioned Baker Museum?
