Nursing mothers and families can visit the Baby Oasis presented by ColoradoKids.com, a convenient area located in the KidZone for parents to nurse, change diapers, and relax in a private environment complete with a rocking chair. An assortment of supplies will be provided, including diapers and baby wipes.
FREE GOLD! FREE FOSSIL HUNT!
 Free gold panning and information on Colorado's mineral and energy production (and conservation) is available at the Colorado Mining Foundation tent. Free educational materials are available for teachers, librarians, home-schooled students, scouts, and more!
Birds of Prey Visit Downtown Denver
 Throughout the weekend, the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program will have live raptors on display, including eagles, owls, hawks, and falcons, and conduct educational presentations designed to promote the value of raptors and the environment and teach ways in which the public can become involved. The program features question-and-answer sessions with the handlers and an opportunity for attendees to come within a few feet of the majestic birds.
FEED YOUR MIND
Families can journey back to the roots of Colorado and have fun learning about the state’s pioneer past, nature, and environment. In the Festival of Mountain and Plain area, featured artisans will demonstrate Navajo weaving and culture, spinning, rug braiding, lace crocheting, felting, instrument-making, and quilting, along with the popular blacksmith demonstration.
HAVE A KID-SIZED PORTION OF SOMETHING TASTY & EXOTIC
Kid-friendly food vendors will be located along the perimeter of the KidZone selling hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, and more. A Taste of Colorado is also an opportunity for parents to encourage their children to try new foods from places like Venezuela, the Middle East, Asia, and India, as many of the restaurants offer "taste-sized" portions for one to three tickets.
