Free days...

I thought I'd let you in on a little bit of info I read in 5280 this month. Now that I , ahem, live in this city, I desperately want to take advantage of all the museums and cultural establishments about town. However, they can be rather pricey (Denver Art Museum is $10 for Colorado residents). BUT 5280 has featured an article about the best bargains in Denver and has posted all the free days for the Denver art museum, the zoo, the botanical garden, etc. So now I have no excuse; I must go. And you should too!
