Denver Museum of Nature & Science

The panoramas here are absolutely phenomenal. The animals in thr collection look natural and thr displays look like the are the habitat. They also have a very cool space section. The planetarium was cool and the science of giant dinosaurs experience was also very well done. An exceptional way to spend time. I'm glad we added it to our Denver Trip

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!
