DENVER — Who says all puzzles have to be solved while sitting down?
At the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, visitors can explore their Mazes and Brain Games exhibit, featuring puzzles, mazes and brain teasers of many varieties. As families prepare for heading back to school, it's a fun way to get kids' wheels churning before returning to the classroom.
The exhibit, which is running until Sept. 25, offers several conundrums, including the three found below.
