Happy Mother’s Day! We know there was no manual that came along with your kids – you are doing great. You are exactly what your kids need. They love you no matter how much they give you a hard time (or not). Doesn’t it feel good to hear that? It’s true. We don’t hear it often enough – so this Mother’s Day – Mile High Mamas wishes you the best day! If you’re looking for a last-minute gift, brunch of celebration ideas, don’t miss our Ultimate Guide to Mother’s Day in Denver.
Free Days. We will be updating our free days list for this year soon. However, we do warn you that the institutions can change their free days at any time. They do often also change how to get in for free (for example the Zoo requires a registration that opens weeks in advance of the free day). We do recommend you check with them before going. Also, if a specific day does not work for you we highly recommend the library option, where you can check out a pass from the library. Mark this page to see free days this week. Denver Art Museum – May 9; Longmont Museum – May 13; Denver Art Museum – May 14; Museum of Outdoor Arts – May 15.
