October 2, 2013--Denver, Colorado—The Denver Museum of Nature & Science will offer free admission to all employees of the federal government beginning Wednesday, October 2, through Sunday, October 6.

In order to receive free admission, federal employees will be asked to show their federal ID at the Museum admission desk. Family members of federal employees are invited to purchase Museum tickets at regular price.
