Good museum with lots of variety, however, little that made it unique from other similar museums. Still it was a nice place to check out.

We really enjoyed the variety of exhibits that the museum had to offer. The museum had more than enough to keep us busy for the afternoon even though we just purchased the basic ticket. If you're from out of town, be sure to check out the museum's view of the city.

Went with my 5 year old. Very nice museum. Lots of animal displays and dinosaur displays to see. Also offers an imax movie for a cost. We also ate in the cafeteria and got a decent meal with a nice atmosphere.

Good variety of nature and science. Really enjoyed the mineral and gem exhibit. Saw lots of kids (school trips) in all parts and saw that there were many interactive displays especially for the children. Well worth a stop when you're visiting in Denver

We got in free due to our membership at our local museum and although we didn't have time to visit the additional Ice Age exhibit, we did see the 3D Imax about the Ice Age and we all loved it. Highly recommended!

While on vacation in Denver we visited this museum and had a blast! There are 3 stories packed full of fun and educating exhibits. The mummies were very interesting and my boys loved the dinosaur exhibits. The human body exhibit was very fun and interactive for the boys. They especially loved the age progression simulator. We had a wonderful time... More

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.
