Located off I-25 in Denver, the children's museum features hands-on experiences for young children. There are rooms that duplicate all the rooms in your house, so the museum is like a big doll house to the child. A quiet room has storytellers and readers who follow their reading with hands-on puzzles and coloring papers. Think of the museum as a... more

From the promotional website for this 'museum' I was hoping for a fun day out for our 20 month old, as they claimed to have a lot of fun activities for toddlers. In reality this is a fairly small education oriented playplace with only a small area suitable for his age and that was overrun with big kids roughousing and... more

Took our 18month old child in and first thought it would be only for older kids but found plenty she could do. Had rooms and activities specially designed for very young kids. Saw kids of all ages playing in different areas. Our child really enjoyed the play store and infant area. Was a lot of kids there so could be... more

First of all, the parking is terrible! And it only gets worse from there. If you enjoy paying extra money for your kids to be engulfed in swarms of oher children waiting around a lot to do a bunch of stuf they can do at home, then this is the place for you. The place was so crowded that we... more

We took our grandson who is 5 years old to the Museum and we felt that it was a total waste of money. We have a Sunday School facility and program that is much more developed and interactive than this Museum. Children at that program experience much more than this Museum provides. It is a shame that with so much... more

It's ok, but a bit pricey for what you get. The rooms are all pretty small, it gets crowded very quickly and none of the attractions were stocked well. We couldn't make the first 10 projects my daughter picked out in the workshop because there were not enough supplies, then we had to wait 20 minutes to get a workstation.... more

We visited the Children's Museum last week in Denver, with our kids ages 2 and 5. I was intriqued after reading some tourist info about their "room with 88,000 balls" and the "indoor snow skiing for kids." Well, after paying the fee (a bit $ in my opinion), and looking at the map, I was told that both of those... more

The Denver Children's Museum is a wonderful museum for inspiring little kids and engaging them in creative play, and their web site clearly indicates it's intended for ages infant to eight. My baby, who's 8 months, loved crawling through and exploring the "playscapes" in the Center for the Young Child, and I've never been to any other museum with an... more

We have kids ages 8 & 10 and have literally been to Children's Museums all over the United States (from west Texas to Michigan to Virginia - we're a military family and travel a lot!). This was such a disappointment. We planned our trip to Denver on a Sunday (not much else is open on Sundays in Denver) and this... more
