Denver Museum of Nature & Science

Such a great experience and you honestly learn so much. All the exhibits were so interesting and I’m already looking forward to going back for more. 💰 Price: My friend has a membership and she invited me as her guest so I actually got in for free that day. Her membership allows a free guest to come with her which is a huge plus. General admission is usually $25.95 for adultsand $20.95 for kids. They do have military and student discounts too. Or you can always check out their next free day or night if you want to save some cash. 😁 Service: It was a pretty easy experience. We only really encountered staff when we checked in for admission and for the Brick Planet exhibit. Everyone was helpful and getting in was a breeze. ☕️ Drinks: We went to their coffee shop called Coffee Lab. I got a cold chai tea with coconut milk for $6 and it was a really good pick-up. They have hot chai too and plenty of other options if you aren't into coconut milk. They also had a sign saying their cafeteria on the main floor has drip coffee but I didn’t try that one this time. Exhibits Section: - 🧱 Brick Planet: This was so neat to see. They have all these animals made out of Legos and the facts about each one were so impressive. This exhibit is open until May 3rd. - 💎 Gems and Minerals: These were really interesting. We saw some Colorado history and learned how aquamarine is made. It was cool to find out there is some in Colorado today that you can still find in certain locations. - 👩‍🚀 Space Odyssey: My favorite part was the star room walkthrough. It was so peaceful and cute. They had some neat interactive activities throughout this whole section too. 🚘 Parking: Parking is free which is nice. It was really packed the day we went so I had to park in the Zoo lot. It’s not a far walk at all if you park near the museum side. ✅ Overall: I would highly recommend going here and coming back again if you don’t finish seeing everything. This place is great for both adults and kids. I didn't get to see everything this trip but I’ll be back for the Girls & Science night on March 6th. It’s free and another good day to explore from 4pm to 9pm. I’ll be updating my review once I go back to see the rest, especially since they have a planetarium and an IMAX theater with a few different shows. Plus a new dinosaur exhibit called The World’s Largest Dinosaurs opens on March 20th. Before you leave, if the skies are clear, definitely check out the view of the mountains and the mammoth outside. It’s a really nice walk if it’s warm enough!

My wife and I love this museum. It's very well done with great signs so you can learn a lot. We recently went to see the Lego exhibit which was well worth it just for that! The Lego sculptures were very unique and fit well in the nature and science theme. We also always stop through the gem wing which is a must visit. It's a fun area to see because a lot of the gems and minerals come from Colorado mines so you learn some of the state history too.

I always learn something when I go to the museum. There is so much to see that it is hard to see it all in one day. The wildlife dioramas are always great to see, they look so realistic, like they might step right out of the display case. The gems, minerals and rocks are always neat too, so many beautiful ones. The special attractions that are changing are super also, makes it that there is some brand things to see and learn. To be able to walk in and look up at some of the fossils, they are big, and then go up and look down on the same is cool! There are some great fossils to see in the dinosaur section. This year's big dinosaurs display was wild, didn't realize just how big they would be. This museum is always clean and they are crews constantly cleaning to keep it sparkling. Even with lots of people you don't feel crowded. The staff is always very pleasant and willing to answer questions. Lots of interactive displays especially liked by kids (of all ages). The exhibit on the human body is amazing! It is a good day when you spend it at the museum.

Haven't been here in so long and it's only gotten even better. I was so happy to visit for my birthday with family. All the exhibits are so fun and the interactive areas as well. The staff was extremely kind and fun. There's play areas for littles in the space area and the health area too. The health area is still my favorite even after all this time

Amazing Experience! Hubby & I visited while on vacation. So many fascinating dinosaur exhibits, including Colorado’s largest & deepest dinosaur excavation… Discovered under the museum’s parking lot last year. Such a cool story! Also the “Teen Rex” discovered by 3 North Carolina youth. We did not add-on the visiting “Largest Dinosaurs” exhibit. Unfortunately, the Minerals & Gems exhibit was closed for maintenance. Be sure to take the elevator to the roof for a gorgeous view of Denver’s skyline against the mountains. We had a wonderful time!
