Meow Wolf Denver's Convergence Station

Good luck finding the bathroom once you are in lol. This place will blow your mind. Fun for all ages an experience right when you walk in the door. Three floors of the most crazy interactive artwork you’ll ever find on earth. Prepared to walk a lot. There are elevators so you can get around if you need to, but it’s lots of fun. Took the whole family and we enjoyed it. Worth every penny. If you’re in downtown Denver, you must see.

To describe any Meow Wolf excursion is to speak a different language, a journey into the beyond. I've been to our local venue several times, now. As an artist and writer, myself, with friends who have work in the space, I'm still left speechless. When it first opened, it was A LOT. People were still wearing masks due to COVID and places had just reopened. It was, quite frankly, a sensory overload. There were timed tickets, which were just vague notions because time gets lost in this immersive installation, without windows or clocks like a casino. There was also the fact that the place itself had just opened after years of false starts, with the Covid outbreak just as the exterior of the building was completed. I went back after things calmed down to give it a second chance. It was a good choice. The second time, I went in the evening on a weekday. It was quieter without the school groups and families. There was space to take in the scenery and participate in the interactive elements. The full bar that's open in the evenings was available to take breaks and leisurely stroll through the universe that is Convergence Station. I'm glad I went back to give it a second chance because it's now a destination for any friend that's visiting from out of town. I strongly suggest giving yourself plenty of time, should you have plans following your visit. No matter how many times you visit, you're going to feel like you've missed something. Each room has its own signature theme, as designed by independent artists. Each hallway, each doorway isn't just a portal into another world but its own unique space to explore. Then, there's the venue, too, with its dancefloor that echoes your movement in a panoply of colors, which is also a must-experience. Parking is aplenty yet paid. It's not a far walk from the light rail stop, so there's that option. The ticket prices have come down from when they first opened, offering discounts for locals in Colorado and annual memberships. If you're coming through Denver or live here, be sure to set aside time for this time warp!!
