Teacher Appreciation is coming up and there are countless ways to celebrate our teachers around Denver. As a token of gratitude for their tireless efforts, teachers with a valid ID can enjoy FREE admission year-round to the Museum of Illusions Denver. It's a perfect opportunity for educators to unwind, explore and marvel at the mysteries of perception.
While teachers can enjoy this benefit all year, the museum is putting a special spotlight on them during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5-11) with an extra bonus: a National Teachers Day Raffle running from May 5 to 9. Teachers can enter the raffle when they visit the museum, and winners will be announced the following day.

Denver’s location offers some awesome opportunities for both locals and tourists. We have visited twice and we still can't get enough. Check out our thoughts:
More than 50 visual and educational exhibits designed to tease the senses and trick the mind fill the space.
Plan on spending at least an hour to check out all of the exhibits. There are a lot and you'll want to spend some time at each one to get to the bottom of the illusions.
Denver-specific exhibits are onsite, allowing visitors to appear upside down on an RTD train, scale a historic Denver façade, and meet a Rocky Mountain skier who just cannot keep her eyes off museum guests.
The museum is chock full of photo ops that you will want to take advantage of.
Illusion experts are positioned throughout the museum to explain the science behind the illusions and assist with photography.
