Please send me any additional free dates and places for 2013 and I will be certain to update my posts. Please also visit my office on August 10, 2013 for the (nearly) free electronics recycling event. And also keep in mind free days Colorado from my prior post.
Thank you to Janet for pointing out the names of the National Parks holidays. Please keep sending in the free suggestions. Readers love a freebie. More suggestions from readers:
A hot ticket for 2014, the Denver Firefighters Museum free day is set for October 11, 2014. This museum is a bit of a hidden gem, right in downtown Denver. Children will love getting behind the wheel of an antique fire engine and sliding down the pole.
The 2014 Molly Brown House free day is November 11, 2014. The museum dedicated to the “unsinkable Molly Brown is located at 1340 Pennsylvania Street, Denver Colorado.
