the official blog of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District

Since 1989, Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) has distributed funds from a 1/10 of 1% sales and use tax to cultural facilities throughout the seven-county Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. The funds support cultural facilities whose primary purpose is to enlighten and entertain the public through the production, presentation, exhibition, advancement and preservation of art, music, theatre, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history.

For a roaring good time check out T Rex vs. Sue at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.  This amazing exhibit opened up last week Friday and is hugely entertaining for the whole family.  From extremely realistic robotic dinosaurs, who watch and react to your every move, to a delightful detective theatre for the wee little ones this exhibit has it all!  I thought it was especially wonderful how the actors incorporated both English and Spanish into the theatre performances, really catering to a larger metropolitan audience.  Don’t forget to get your picture taken with the dinos! Had lots of fun DMNS, thanks for the wonderful exhibit!  Be back soon! Cheers, Erica
