Denver Museum of Nature & Science Announces 2010 Free Days

The Denver Museum of Nature & Science will host 12 free days in 2010. Museum Free Days are made possible in part through funding from the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), the small sales tax paid by metro area residents and visitors that supports an array of local scientific and cultural organizations.

"Free days allow our organization to be more accessible to the community during a time when people are watching their budgets. Local residents are paying into the SCFD with their purchases, so our free days give them a return on that investment," said George Sparks, President & CEO of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. 

In 2010, the Museum will hold free days on:

• Monday, January 11th
• Sunday, February 21st
• Monday, March 1st
• Sunday, April 18th
• Sunday, August 8th
