Denver has some great Museums and if you do a little research you can visit for FREE! We found Denver's free days for the Zoo, Children's Museum, Science Museum, and the Art Museum. If you visit Denver check the websites of these places to find out if a free day will be going on during your stay.
I invite you to take a look at our fun free days. Find the answer to the following questions,
Where can you find the cow statues?
Where can you find the Mountain Goat?
What is the brown thing Trent is holding?
Where can you find a good cup of coffee?
Where can you find Colorado's largest gold nugget?
What family would Heston blend in with?
Have fun looking for the answers to these questions, and hope you enjoy the pictures.

Children's Museum of Denver Colorado
Once a month here in Denver the local children's Museum has a free night. We are always up for a freebie. Why pay when you can go for free.
The museum was a complete hands on experience. The boys made things, like robot and tractors out of recycled materials.
They also were able to play in bubbles. Here in these pictures Heston is making a big round bubble. Bryson is standing in a bubble that encompasses his whole body.

Denver Art Museum
These cow statues can be found outside of Denver's Art Museum. We were surprised to see cows at an art museum. This mama cow even has an ear tag in her ear. I wonder if the number has any importance?
The Art Museum has King Tut on display. It cost to see him so we chose not to pay to see a dead mummy, but Heston found a cool King Tut hat to try on.
The Art Museum had an awesome cup of coffee. Even the presentation was a work of art.
Here the boys get swept up in all the cool art that was on display.
This was the boys favorite art piece. It's a man made out of metal sticks.

Denver's Natural History Museum
Bryson almost gets eaten by this walking T-Rex.
Denver's newest scientist.
This is a stuffed Mountain Goat. We saw one of these animals in nature. It's cool to see them climb on the mountain rocks.
Heston has ears!!
Here Trent is holding a BRAIN!!! Yuck!!
Colorado's Largest gold nugget can be found here at the Museum of Science. You would think they would keep something like that in a BANK!!!

Denver is growing on us. It's so nice to be just 2-3 miles away from all these free events.
Here are some cool shots I took one evening while down town.
