Children's Museum of Denver, Denver

This is one of the best places in the area for families to spend a fun day. We have lived in the Denver area for four years and have purchased a membership each year. It can be a bit crowded sometimes, but my autistic child has never been overwhelmed by the amount of people, no matter what day/time we go. There are so many different areas to explore that you can always just move on to one that it is a little less crowded. Everything is hands on and fuels learning by experimentation and/or imaginative play. The art center, water room, and bubbles are always favorites of ours. The outdoor area has plenty of room to run and get some energy out as well as a few activities, and the new climbing area is beyond impressive. Definitely worth spending a few hours at!

Simply the best children's museum me and children have ever been too. There's so much to do here that you could make several trips and still have more to see. The tree house outside is spectacular and it was nice to see an activity that adults could also appreciate!
