  • The Prairie Saga. We live on the short grass prairie and yet it is one of the most endangered and least understood ecosystems. Come meet Petey, the Prairie Dog, as he learns about the amazing animals that live on the prairie. Snakes, Black Footed Ferrets, Burrowing Owls and Ferruginous Hawks all tell us their stories in an entertaining and educational puppet show.

Sometimes coyote has the power of creation, other times he battles supernatural enemies, and sometimes he’s a trickster, outsmarting people and animals alike. Take a moderate 2-mile hike at Hall Ranch Open Space to learn more about this clever, adaptable character. Dress for the weather, wear hiking boots or shoes, and bring drinking water and your sense of humor. All ages are welcome. Free. 10:00 to Noon.

This sounds too good to be true. The Smithsonian Museums are always free to enter, but not so for many Denver & Boulder locations. So the Smithsonian has partnered with some great museums in our area to offer FREE ADMISSION FOR 2 on September 29. Here is a list of some of the participating museums/attractions:

  • Denver Botanical Gardens
  • History Museum Colorado
  • Boulder History Museum
  • Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys
  • Forney Museum of Transportation
  • Molly Brown House Museum
  • Mizel Museum [Closed on 9/29, but FREE 9/30]

For a complete listing of FREE museums/attractions around Colorado click here.

Once you decide on a museum or attraction you simply complete some personal information and they email you a ticket good for 2 FREE ADMISSIONS to whichever museum you choose. Clearly you can use more than one email account and get more tickets depending on the amount of tickets your family needs. You do have to get the tickets ahead of time. Get them here.

Have fun!
