Had a fantastic day here with our 3 year old, she loved every minute, highly recommend it, just wish we had one near us at home. The tooltations were fabulous and she felt VERY grown up wearing her safety goggles and sawing wood etc, the bubble area is brilliant, there's nothing about it that I could complain about at all,...

Recently I was in Denver with a two-year old very active little boy. I had read the reviews of the Children's Museum and was a bit leery of it. However, it was cold outside so we ventured forth to find it. I am so glad I did! First of all, it is a bit hard to find. It is next... More

Our almost 3 year old had a blast! He LOVES anything fire truck, so he loved getting to put on a fire costume and play on a real fire truck! He loved the shopping area, painting, and basically everything else there was to do for his age! There was enough to keep him busy for a few hours. We grabbed... More

We visited to check it out on Family Free night which was a complete zoo, so I highly recommend to avoid that chaos unless you are looking to save some $. We traveled about an hour to visit and coming from Indianapolis where the famous Children's Museum is, its hard to really be fair in my judgement here. It was... More

We visited the Children's Museum of Denver over Spring Break. I was concerned that it would be a little too young for my oldest child, age 9. Could not have been more wrong. Both of my kids (6 & 9) found sections to keep their minds and bodies engaged for several hours. They especially liked the hands on recycling project... More

I can't put my finger on it but this Children's Museum just seems like an forlorn daycare, unkept, depressing. It's like it works on paper but just doesn't come off in reality. Happily, in Denver there are so many other fantastic museums that are much MORE kid-friendly -- and beneficial -- for children. Museum of Nature and Science, Art Museum,... More

I have been brining my son here since he could crawl and he only enjoys it more and more each time. The toddler area is really wonderful and interactive for the smaller kids. The other exhibits geared to older children are so educational and hands on. The museum does special events that are definitely worth braving the crowds and it's... More

We took our 7 year old daughter, 5 year old nephew, and 1 year old niece. We were there when it opened and it didn't get busy for about an hour. Had lots of things to do for various ages. We loved the bubble room and the fire truck. A bit high priced but overall, very nice.
