Take a free day at the zoo, botanic gardens or art museum on the city! The SCFD sales and use tax of 0.1% provides funding for free admission to Colorado residents on certain days of the year. A Colorado driver's license or ID may be requested for admission.

Not all free days are created equal. The art museum offers the most consistent free days, one per month on the first Saturday. The zoo offers eight free days, none of which are during the summer months when children are out of school.
