Denver Deal: Free Museum Days, Consignment Sales & More!

Fall is in the air and next week, we will be including a round-up of the best places to shop for Halloween costumes. Please email us if you have any favorites including new costumes, swaps and used.

Smithsonian Museum Day

In Colorado we don’t live near a Smithsonian Museum (that offer free daily admission) so Smithsonian brings us Museum Day. Museum Day is an annual event hosted by Smithsonian magazine where museums like the Botanic Gardens, Molly Brown House, Mizel Museum, Kirkland Museum and Littleton Museum get a ticket for FREE on Saturday, September 24.  Read more: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/#ixzz1Y3jynW2H

FREE DAYS

The Denver Museum of Nature and Science and Denver Botanic Gardens offer a free day on September 26 as part of the Scientific Cultural and Facilities District.

Rodizio Grill Wild Game Night

I usually tell my kids that they can not tell me they don’t like something until they try it. I must say, I’m excited to take my own advice as I plan to embark on a Wild Game Fest at Rodizio Grill (yes, I will try the rattlesnake)!  For one night only, Monday September 26, enjoy a special 4-course meal with dessert included for only $19.99/person (normally $32.99 without dessert). In order to receive the special deal, guests just have to mention the blog and/or Twitter user they heard about this from. These guests will join the party in our private room to make it one big celebration!

McDonalds Coffee

Following last fall’s coffee offer, McDonalds is at it again with FREE small Premium Roast Coffee every day through September 25. Customers can get the coffee in the drive-thru or inside the restaurant at any participating McDonald’s in Colorado. There are no strings attached and you do not need to purchase another food item in order to receive the free small coffee.

Consignment Sales
It is that time of year again for Children’s Consignment Sales. Thousands of shoppers find bargains on kids’ clothing for newborn-preteen, toys, strollers, furniture, baby equipment, books, shoes, maternity items and more…all at 50-90% below retail.

Outlets of Castle Rock
