Winter is here and, gradually, people are forgoing outdoor activities, choosing instead to spend their free time indoors. While there are places like the indoor amusement park that will keep patrons entertained throughout the season, museums are also a great place to visit during winter. Beijing boasts numerous museums that are free to visit. A trip to a museum is not only educational; it can also enhance the parent-child relationship.
