Free Days at Denver Museums for 2008

The SCFD (Scientific & Cultural Facilities District) in Denver sponsors free days at museums, zoos and botanic gardens across the Mile High City for 2008. The SCFD sales and use tax of 0.1% provides the funding for free admission to Colorado residents. A Colorado driver's license or ID may be required for admission.

The Denver Art Museum offers the most consistent free days, with the first Saturday of every month designated as a free day. The Denver Botanic Gardens offers seven free days, three of which fall on holidays (Martin Luther King Day, Presidents' Day and Earth Day.) The Denver Zoo and Denver Museum of Nature & Science both offer eight free days.
