We have a few family night-out traditions during the holidays. One night we go to Zoo Lights, another we will see all the pretty lights at the Botanic Garden’s Blossoms of Light (there are light displays at both the York Street location and the Chatfield Gardens). And our more recent find is the fun Movie Parties for Elf or National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation at Alamo Draft House.
 
If you’re looking for free holiday events, our Event Calendar is brimming with ideas.

GetOutPass. There is a new “fun pass” in Colorado that almost feels too good to be true. It’s called The GetOutPass and with this one pass you can go to over 30 venues at least once, and sometimes multiple times per year! Best of all, they have many of the biggest and best attractions in the state participating, including Elitch Gardens, Water World, ski resorts, climbing centers, golfing, bowling, jump houses, and so much more! The GetOutPass is a 12-month membership that can be paid for in two ways, making it affordable for everyone. You can pay the full yearly price up front for $119.40 or you can $12.95 per month per person. This is great because the pass is affordable for everyone! If you have the money now you can get savings but if money is tight, the monthly option makes the pass affordable for all families. If you use code FUN30 at checkout you’ll get 30% off the yearly price, making the pass just $83.58 per person. When you think about it, the price of Elitch Gardens and WaterWorld is already over $80 plus taxes per person, but with the GetOutPass, you can go to both of those places as well as dozens of others for the same price.
