I set up a multi-cache geocache outside and inside my museum.
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=6675cf7d-4b81-414e-9a70-46e2d96b1e95

We had to do a multi-cache witht the first step outside the museum
because geocaching rules state that at least the initial step has to
be accessible 24/7.  The outside "first step" contains a clue and
coordinants for the inside "second step", thus they have to come
inside the museum to complete the "find".

My museum is required by lease and legislative agreements to not chage
admission, so no cacher is going to miss out on completing the "find"
during regular museum hours.

It has not received a huge amount of traffic, but it is a very free &
low-maintenance way of advertising to a previously unreached audience.

Good luck and "watch out for muggles" as the geocachers say.
