I loved every part of this museum. My son and nephew had a blast exploring all the different exhibits and the DINOSAURS! The price is reasonable and the cafe had some really decent food!

Came here to keep the kids busy while the adults caught up on life...and it was wonderful. Exhibits kept everyone's interest and were very accessable. A very nice museum.

Was pretty impressed with this place. Went without kids and still had a lot of fun. Tickets prices are cheap for the amount of time spent here and all the cool attractions to see. The health and fitness area is neat to go through all the attractions then get a overall printout once completes.

One of the most attractive features of Denver is this terrific museum. The Gem and Mineral exhibit is spectacular, as well as the various fauna of the Wildlife exhibit. Also making it worth the trip are the Egyptian Mummies and Prehistoric Journey of dinosaurs. There are many other permanent exhibits, and the last time I was there, it was for... More

Used our science museum pass reciprocity to visit this museum while in the Denver area.... My children were very excited about the human exhibit, enjoyed the space, gem and Egyptian exhibits, but were bored to tears at the giant endless rooms of glass "windows" with models of landscapes and fake animals in them. They were also disappointed that most of... More

Our daughter and her family have an annual pass and use the museum all the time as their son loves the dinosaur exhibit in particular. We went there with them during a recent visit to CO. We used to live in Denver a long time ago and took our oldest daughter when she was little. It was fun to go... More

For $12.50 I had access to four floors. I went during the last week of school and they were doing field trips. Even with bus loads of children there was plenty of open space and lots of displays to observe. Free underground parking (which was nice since it was raining when I went.) Had a prepared wrap and water (never... More

Having recently moved to Colorado we decided to spend a long weekend in Denver. We devoted almost four hours to this fantastic museum and will need to visit again the next time we are in town. A variety of exhibits-my favorite was the gem and mining exhibit. The wildlife exhibit was also extremely well done. Of course the dinosaur exhibit... More
