Great exhibits and loads of interesting information to learn from. Tons of taxidermy to view. A very nice collection of gems, fossils, and minerals. Saw the Stonehenge exhibit and thought they did a great job. Space Odyssey was fun, yet we wished they had more instructions for how to interact. The health exhibit was fun to. Overall, very well done.
The most amazing exhibits. You really get a feel for wildlife size and habitat. Such a really great place that will take hours to complete. Very enjoyable visit.
Enjoyed spending time at the museum. The historical exhibits were better than the nature ones. Specially liked the ancient Egyptian mummies. There were animal exhibits from different parts of the world. Not to mention the giant skeleton of a dinosaur above the escalator. The 3D shows in the IMAX theatre on the second level were quite impressive. Watched the one titled "Back from the brink". It was quite educational as well as entertaining. Another one was about the Great Barrier Reef. Overall, highly recommended for spending around 3 to 4 hours especially for families with kids.
I would recommend if you are going with young kids going straight to the second floor where the discovery area is. My kids had so much fun digging for dinosaur bones, playing in water, building, and playing in the restaurant. They had a lot of really cool exhibits I wanted to see but had to leave without reading anything. I will be coming back alone next time.
Was great! I was constantly surprised by what they had and the collections are great. I wanted to purposefully go in blind and I was not disappointed at all. If you're into any type of science subject or even history or culture, there's something here for you and you won't be disappointed. My only thing is that I wish there were more live animals here but despite that it's perfect. The food in the cafeteria is pretty good as well.
What a fantastic place! Really a world-class museum, like the Smithsonian. Lots of old school dioramas (which I love) a d lots of dinosaur bones, but so much more. I was only here for a few hours, so I didn't get to everything, but it's a huge place.
Wonderful dinosaur and animal exhibits. Plus, there are little hidden gnomes in some of the painted backgrounds of the exhibits which is a fun touch! It's like a little built-in Where's Waldo game :)
Also, this museum has the most minerals and gems I have ever seen in one place. Def worth checking out!
Such a great museum! Great permanent exhibits like their gorgeous taxidermy dioramas, and quality travelling exhibits, like the recent Stonehenge or past Body Worlds exhibits! It's easy to spend three or more hours there.
This is a phenomenal museum. Great for kids and adults of all ages. The Stonehenge exhibit in itself was worth traveling to see archaeologically excellent. 3 floors of world class natural history exhibits. The bear exhibit was excellent and of course the dinosaurs. The modern architecture and skyline view of Denver is spectacular. The 2 restaurants had great food and it s all the way around excellent. We needed 2 days because there is so much to see.
This is a very nice museum but unless you become a member and go regularly then expect it to be a little costly. For 2 adults and 1 child it was 138 dollars. That price did include some add on. That being said, there was a lot to see and learn. A great way to spend a day.
