The extreme cold coming to Denver is shutting down one of the cities most popular attractions for three days, including a planned “Free Day.”

The Denver Botanic Gardens is closing for three days. Both the York Street and Chatfield Farms Denver Botanic Garden locations will be closed Saturday through Monday.

The closure includes Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which was a Scientific and Cultural Facilities District free day. To replace the lost time, March 17 will now be a free day.
