Sometimes it can be difficult to find cheap or free entertainment in Colorado. Finding affordable ways to entertain the family can be a real challenge, especially in a place like Colorado where the options are endless but can come with a hefty price tag.

We just discovered a way to entertain the entire family for free. There is a safari near Denver that you need to check out.

Experiences at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge

As we mentioned, this is a free experience. You can experience Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge in a few different ways.

There are hiking and bicycle trails. There are 20 miles of trails to walk. You can also take a tour in your vehicle. There is an 11-mile drive and the refuge offers a podcast that will guide you through everything.

It is pretty remarkable that this is a free attraction. I have been to a safari on the west coast that cost more than $150 a person. You should take advantage of this.
