El Día del Niño—the Day of the Child—is one of the year’s most exciting and vibrant events at the beautiful History Colorado Center, downtown Denver’s only Smithsonian Affiliate museum. Admission to the entire museum and all of its exhibits is provided free of charge throughout the day.
The museum is in the heart of the Golden Triangle Creative District, just steps from additional free offerings at our Center for Colorado Women’s History, Clyfford Still Museum, Denver Art Museum, and Denver Public Library.
