I come across all of these fun things to do and then promptly forget them. This is mostly for my use (like the cookbook blog) to organize things - places we've been and places that sound fun. Maybe I'll give this it's own blog later on but for now it's a post that I can refer to when needed.
Lair O' The Bair Park - shady walking trails, streamside. Picnic spots with BBQs abound. Easy for kids. Wading spots! FREE
Littleton Historic Museum - historic park in downtown Littleton. Farm buildings, schoolhouse, animals, blacksmith shop, homes and farm/garden/orchard. Indoor museum with exhibits on site. Kids section of museum is great for toddlers and preschoolers. FREE
Chatfield Gardens - working farm, historic buildings, lots of trails. ADMISSION (but look for free days from SCFD)
Other things with Free Days from SCFD - Denver Zoo, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Art Museum, Denver Center for Performing Arts
Summer Reading Program from Jefferson County Library - AWESOME and FREE! From Jun 1 to the end of July read 8 hours (for kids) and get a free book and coupons for activities. Each year you get a coupon when you sign up and another when you finish for Lakeside Amusement Park. One is for free parking and the other is for unlimited rides so use them together for a completely free day! The park is a little run down but they have nice rides for the kids and our family looks forward to our day here each year!
Jefferson County Library Culture Pass - free passes to local museums for library card holders. Passes for the Butterfly Pavilion, Byers-Evans House Museum; Denver Firefighters Museum; Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls & Toys; Dinosaur Ridge, MCA Denver, Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. They also used to have the Wildlife Experience but I'm not seeing it currently.

Great Blog, I enjoyed my visit, the children are quite wonderful, which is to be expected with the fantastic genes they have. :-)
