More than 30 museums across Colorado are offering free admission on Saturday, Sept. 20 for Smithsonian Magazine's annual Museum Day.

What's the catch? You can only pick one museum, you must print your tickets online and you can only get one ticket (good for two people) per address.

In the Denver metro area, the participating museums are the History Colorado Center, Denver Firefighters Museum, CELL Museum (Denver), American Mountaineering Museum (Golden), Golden History Museum & Park, Aurora History Museum & historic sites, Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art (Denver) and the Lakewood Heritage Center.
