Our wonderful Denver Museum of Nature & Science offers families so much to see, do and explore. A visit can easily fill the entire day with wonder, knowledge and lots of fun. And, thanks to our city’s Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, you can expand your mind, not your wallet on the institution’s annual FREE Days. The next one is on Monday, September 20. When we just checked, there were plenty of times and tickets available.

Richard says
How do those without smartphones get scannable tickets?
Bryan says
Richard — The post states that tickets “may” be scanned on a smartphone, not “required” to be scanned. Guests may also print tickets at home and simply take them to the Museum for entry. We hope this information helps. -BKC
