I have also been a fan of Nature and Science Museums since a little kid and I was not disappointed spending a Sunday Afternoon exploring the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The Musuem is located next to the Denver Zoo and is a nice alternative if the weather is either a bit too warm or if the weather turns... More

This museum covers many topics. Included are Fossils, gems and minerals, the human body, Mummies, Native American history and Space Exploration. I was impressed with the Wildlife Dioramas on the 3rd floor. Great variety of items in the gift shop as well. Nice place to spend a few hours.

Probably the pride of Denver Arts and Science. Great Natural History Museum with rotating exhibits and IMAX. Really enjoyed the displays of Colorado Nature. Botanic Gardens and Zoo are nearby. Planned a family trip to the zoo, but weather went cold and damp, so hit the museum and had a blast.

We had a wonderful time with our grandchildren ages 2,4, and 9. The exhibits were great for all ages and very hands on for youngest. The health exhibit was amazing. The RockyMountain train movie was great. The food was good and reasonable. Convenient parking makes this a great trip for all ages.

My family saw the IMAX movie - Flight of the Butterflies in 3D this past weekend. We were absolutely thrilled with the high quality of this film. Not only is it visually stunning but also this is a fascinating story about a Canadian scientist's (Fred Urquhart) lifelong quest to study the migration of the monarch butterfly. He starts his research... More

The Museum is very child-friendly with lots of hands-on exhibits. It has a great Dinosaur section, in which I learned a lot. Aldo the sound and music section is brilliant.

The Mammoth exhibit is the most highly decorated exhibit in the museum. There is plenty for all age groups and different shows and experiences in each exhibit. Be sure to check out the world on a sphere in the space odyssey. The titan painting is a lot of fun too... even if you cant draw.
