Discover Details:
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science
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.
Consider getting a membership if you think you'll visit more than twice a year. It saves money on admission and gives you discounts at the café and gift shop
If you're bringing kids, don’t miss the Discovery Zone! It’s super interactive and perfect for keeping them entertained while you enjoy the other exhibits.
Denver Museum of Art
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
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
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
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
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.
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!
Modern Art Museum
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
