Stacy Neir’s “What to Do in NE Denver with Kids” Guide – August 2-15

Tired of the same old trips to the museum? Here’s some other things you can do in the first half of August to keep the family busy.
Notes:

• Please check this any day you are looking for something to do, but also scroll through the month as there are ticketed events and others that require reservations, which I do try to note to note those that do.
• It is always a good idea to call ahead to make sure the event you are interested in is still happening.
