From DCPA: “We experienced temporary technical difficulties with our payment gateway [yesterday.] If you were unable to purchase a DCPAccess ticket, please try again.” Denver is a world-class city, when it comes to the arts and so much more. And, fortunately, the city makes the theater affordable for all. For more than 30 years, taxpayers have supported the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), which enables the DCPA to offer award-winning theatre and inspiring educational programs. As part of the partnership, each organization offers free or discounted tickets to the public on certain dates or for select performances.

Indoor Play Areas For Kids Around Denver
Finally, we can get out and enjoy socializing again. In case you find yourself trapped with some rowdy young ‘uns, you may need some fun places for the kiddos to play. This list of indoor play areas around Denver should come in handy.
I’ve included all sorts of activities, some free and some with an admission fee. For some of the pricier attractions, I noted if there’s a Groupon available (and you should always check Groupon yourself for those not marked, as new Groupons pop up from time to time).
This list is by no means comprehensive as there are a gazillion spots across the metro area. A few spots have closed in the last year, others are still to re-open. Know of something that should be in the list? Just email laura@milehighonthecheap.com. [Read more…] about Indoor Play Areas For Kids Around Denver
