Día del Niño at Denver Museum of Nature and Science

The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is partnering with the Mexican Cultural Center and the Consulate General of Mexico in Denver to host a Dia del Nino celebration for its SCFD Community Free Day on April 23.

The Denver Public Library’s bookmobile, The Reading Rocket, will be parked in front of the Museum from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Access to the temporary exhibition “Chocolate: The Exhibition” will be free, and special discounts on tickets for the temporary exhibition “Robot Revolution,” IMAX and Planetarium will be offered as part of the Museum’s Dia del Nino celebration.

Parking for Día del Niño: Limited free parking is available at the Museum, so alternative transportation is highly encouraged.
