Good Deals: 2012 Free Days at Denver Museums and Attractions
The Denver Botanic Gardens is one of the attractions with free days in 2012
The Science and Facilities Cultural District recently released its list of 2012 free days at the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Zoo, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the Denver Botanic Gardens, and the Denver Center for Performing Arts!
You’re probably aware that most museums and cultural institutions in Denver charge an admission fee, but you may not know that you already contribute to a special tax district called the Science and Facilities Cultural District, which helps pay for free days at some of Denver’s biggest attractions. The SCFD is a 1/10 of 1% sales tax on purchases in the Denver metropolitan area, and it raises approximately $40 million dollars annually for hundreds of government and nonprofit scientific and cultural organizations. It also helps fund free days at our biggest institutions to ensure that culture remains accessible to all.
