Got a Mountain Biker in Your Life?
If you or someone you know is into mountain biking, you should know that a world-class mountain bike race is coming to Colorado Springs in September 2020, and we at Circa Real Estate Group are super excited to be a founding sponsor of the Pikes Peak Apex presented by Rock Shox. I’ll be sharing more about the race as it gets closer (Circa will be giving away free cowbells to spectators – let’s take the cheering up a notch!) but for now, here’s an opportunity to win:
We are giving away one free entry to the Pikes Peak Apex on Circa Real Estate Group’s website: Go here to enter to win a free entry – up to a $445 value!
Jeremy and I both love to mountain bike (that’s him in the photo) and we usually do several races each summer. We’ve been hoping for a big local race for awhile now and are excited to be able to have a part in bringing this fun event to Colorado Springs.
Free Paddleboarding with UpaDowna at Prospect Lake
If you’ve been wanting to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), here’s a chance to do it for free: UpaDowna is offering free paddleboarding on Prospect Lake on Thursday, July 25th! You can get the details on their Facebook event page. The event is free, but they will be accepting donations as well so that they can keep doing events like this.
Special Discount for IKEA Family Members at Denver Children’s Museum
The Children’s Museum of Denver will host an IKEA Family Day at the museum on Wednesday, April 18th: show your IKEA family card to save $2 off admission on this one day only! From the IKEA Family email:

Free Museum Admission for Military
The Blue Star Museums program offers active-duty military personnel and their families (up to five family members) free admission to select museums every summer, from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day! There are participating museums around the country, including well over thirty right here in Colorado. No registration is required, but be sure to read their FAQ on how to redeem this offer. See the full list of participating museums here.
$6 Tuesday Deal at Icon Cinemas
Thanks to my friend Naomi for the tip that Icon Cinemas (Interquest and Voyager) offers a $6 deal on Tuesdays: all movies are $6 each! My friend mentioned that there is a $1 fee if you buy your tickets online, but if you purchase them at the theater, you can avoid the $1 fee.
Discounts & Coupons for Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
Headed to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo soon? Here are a couple of discounts and coupons to save off the admission price:
- Bring in old cell phones for recycling and save $2.00 off admission – more info here
- $3.00 off for military personnel and their immediate families
- Check for coupons at local resorts and vacation coupon racks
They will typically do a discount on memberships in May, though in the past year or two, it’s been a very nominal discount ($10 off a $190 membership).
The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo usually does a discount admission day in late August for Teddy Bear Days, and sometimes for Mother’s Day.
They will also periodically offer buy one admission, get one for $0.25 days in partnership with Children’s Hospital Colorado – stay tuned to Springs Bargains or the zoo’s Facebook page for these types of deals as they are usually announced without much advance notice.
And if you have a few children, be sure to compare the rates of a daily admission with a family membership – in some cases, the cost to visit the zoo just once is very close to the price of an annual family membership!
