Free Museum Days in Denver For 2025. Now You Can Print Out Our List
The PDF print button is working now. Visiting museums can get expensive, especially for families. However, many Denver area museums and attractions offer FREE admission every month — some even offer special activities on those days. The free days are funded, in part, by taxes collected through the Science and Cultural Facilities District and/or donations from generous sponsors. Because free days are so popular, you are wise to reserve tickets in advance if the attraction has a timed-entry policy.
While admission is FREE, special exhibitions or other add-on activities may incur a fee. Dates and times may change, so always double-check before you visit.
If you want to print out this list, there is a PDF button at the end of the post. Just click on it and voila, you have the latest version to carry with you.
