Denver Deals: Lookout Mountain Nature Center, free coffee and bagels for a year!
I have been sick the past week and I never get sick. I have been sniffling, sneezing and have had coughs that kept me up. But alas, my grandpa’s words echoed in my head “you’re not allowed to be sick.” I was done with it in just a day or two! I recently read an article that the mind can play some fun games with you – including health. You can think yourself to a better/healthier you. Do you think that is true? How do we teach our kids that?
 
Einstein Bagels and Caribou Coffee. Good is good. But two goods is better. To celebrate great coffee being next to awesome bagels, the two will throw a party on Wednesday, April 6. First 50 in line (line starts at5 a.m.)  get free coffee and bagels for a year. After the first 50 if you are in line by 5 a.m., you will get a free coffee and bagel (while supplies last) at the Westminster location 14315 Orchard Parkway, Westminster.

Lookout Mountain Nature Center staff and volunteer naturalists inspire kids and adults to connect with the natural world. Interactive exhibits take visitors on a tour of the flora and fauna of the foothills ecosystem. Kids enjoy a hands-on play room and observation room. At each turn, visitors discover earth-friendly elements of the building’s sustainable design, including floors made from recycled train boxcars. Go here to take a look at the  FREE programs in April.

Hard-to-recycle items.  On Thursday, April 7, Denver residents have the chance to get rid of “hard-to-recycle” material and items (like mattresses, Styrofoam and plastic wrappers). Drop off items at The Alliance Center (1526 Wynkoop St.) between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Denver Recycles staff and other experts will be on site to answer your questions, as well. They will accept: mattresses, bike tubes, reusable clothing, shoes, household goods (for arc thrift stores), construction items, doors, counters, tiles, etc. (for Habitat for Humanity), styrofoam, electronics & small appliances (variable fees apply for these items; make payment on arrival) and more.

Parking Downtown. With The Colorado Rockies’ Opening Day fast approaching (Friday – our city holiday), make sure parking app SpotHero  is on your radar. Parking near Coors Field averages $13, but by reserving parking from SpotHero’s app or website, fans can find parking as low as $6! SpotHero helps Rockies fans compare rates and save money so they don’t have to worry about where to park and how much it will cost.

Denver Zoo. Denver Zoo is offering a $5 admission, per person, discount to guests arriving between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m., March 12 to April 10 during its celebration, “Spring Break: Journey to South America.” Plus meet the new species to the Zoo, the Lake Titicaca frog, a critically endangered frog the Zoo supports through conservation efforts in Peru!  Admission during this early bird admission hour is $12 for adults (12-64), $7 for children (3-11), $9 for senior citizens (65+). Children 2 and under are admitted free.

Fazoli’s, the nation’s largest fast-casual Italian chain unveiled a line of several new menu items as part of a company-wide brand revamp campaign. Don’t worry, the classic Fazoli’s dishes are still available (including unlimited, free breadsticks), but their new menu items include four new Primo Submarinos, as well as three new signature pastas—including a ricotta, parmesan and Romano cheese-stuffed tortellini dish. To kick-off spring, they’ve also rolled out four new delicious salads made with 100% fresh ingredients.
