Father’s Day gifts: 5 things to do with Dad for under $150

Father's Day gifts are around the corner, and we're spending the most Father's Day bucks this year on experiences. This suggests we want to spend time with Dad, more than anything. With that in mind, here are 5 suggestions for Father's Day outings that won't break the bank.

3. Air and space/Air Force museum (Free and up)

Airplanes hang from the ceiling at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington in this 2010 file photo. Air Force and air and space museums are all over the country, and more often than not, you can enjoy them for free.

I hate to make a sweeping generalization about dads on Father's Day, but allow me just this one, based on 20-plus years of field evidence: Dads love planes. Happily, there are air and space museums all over the country, with admission prices that range from cheap to free. The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum offers free admission, with fees for select exhibits and shows. In case you’re outside the Washington, D.C., area, military.com offers a directory of  aircraft and Air Force museums as well as other military museums and memorials around the country.
