- $0.01 for Colorado residents on the first Saturday
A penny gets a Colorado resident into the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver on the first Saturday of every month, one of the best art deals in the city. The July 4 date puts it right in the middle of holiday weekend downtown.
Bring proof of Colorado residency for the one-cent rate; standard admission applies to out-of-state visitors. The next two first Saturdays are July 4 and August 1, 2026.
MCA Denver sits at 1485 Delgany Street near Union Station and the Highland pedestrian bridge, walkable from LoDo. The rooftop cafe is worth the climb for the view.
