The Denver Museum of Nature & Science

Check out the museum's schedule online before your visit. They often have special events or talks happening that are totally worth attending.

I recommend arriving right when the museum opens at 9 AM. It's way less crowded, and you can explore at your own pace without feeling rushed.

If you're planning to check out the IMAX film, buy your tickets online ahead of time. They can sell out quickly, especially on weekends.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes! You'll be surprised how much walking you'll do, especially with all the cool exhibits to see.
Denver Museum of Art

Definitely check out the gift shop; I found some unique items that were reasonably priced compared to other museum shops. Don’t skip it!

My advice is to grab a map at the entrance; it really helps you navigate and find the exhibits you wanna see instead of wandering aimlessly.

I recommend visiting on a Thursday evening when they have free admissions, so you can save those bucks for souvenirs!
Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum

if you're into aviation history, don't miss the volunteer-led talks. i stumbled upon one and it was super informative! just be sure to check the schedule when you arrive.
Dragon Man's Military Museum

I suggest checking out the outdoor displays first thing! I missed them and it was such a bummer. They closed earlier than I expected!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes! The museum is bigger than it looks, and there's a lot of walking involved. I was hurting by the end of the day.
If you want to save some cash, consider bringing your own snacks or drinks. The on-site cafe is a bit pricey and not as exciting as the exhibits
Molly Brown House Museum

If you're into history don't rush! I suggest taking the full tour since it dives deep into Molly's life and trust me it’s more interesting than it sounds

Plan to visit around 2 PM. It seems to be a quieter time, and we had a more intimate experience without being rushed by big groups.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The floors are a bit creaky and uneven, and you'll wanna explore every corner in this charming house!
Forney Museum of Transportation

If you're really into transportation history, consider getting the audio guide. It added a lot to my experience and helped me understand the exhibits better.

When you visit, don't rush through the train car displays. Take time to read the descriptions. I skipped some and ended up missing out on interesting stories.

Pack a snack! The museum can be a bit overwhelming, and you might want to take breaks between all the exhibits. Plus, food nearby can be pricey.
Aspen Art Museum

Don't skip the rooftop terrace! The views are stunning, and it's a perfect spot to relax. Just a heads up, the elevator can be a bit slow, so be patient - it's worth it!

If you're planning to visit, try to go on a Wednesday afternoon. That’s when they have fewer crowds, so you can really enjoy the art and take pics without people in your way.

I highly recommend checking their schedule for free admission days; I saved some cash that way! Many locals say it's a great time to check out the exhibits without feeling rushed.
Modern Art Museum
Hoover Dam Museum

I recommend visiting on a weekday around 10 AM. The crowds were way smaller, and we got to soak in all the info without feeling rushed. Weekends can be super packed.

my advice is to check out the gift shop before leaving. they had some cool souvenirs that were way cheaper than the ones at the main entrance. i almost missed it!
Children's Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus

my advice is to bring snacks! the food options can be pricey and limited, so packing a few snacks for the kiddos can save you some cash and keep them happy.

I suggest visiting right when the museum opens at 9 AM. It can get crowded quickly, and getting there early means you can enjoy the exhibits without the rush
