We took our three boys (8, 5, 4) here and they had a blast. There is a real fire engine they can climb into and fire gear they can put on. A few interactive exhibits upstairs as well. Admission isn't an arm and a leg, and though the museum is small, it kept our very active boys occupied for an... More

We visited this museum as part of the Doors Open Denver weekend of activities. It is a little gem, incredibly well laid out, and with lots of interesting exhibits and fun things for kids to do. The "staff" were very keen and knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions (the main one from my husband being why are Denver's fire trucks... More

Don't miss treating your kids and yourself to this fun, interactive, and educational experience. Our group ranged in age from 2 to 65+ -and everyone loved it. I am a museum hound and can honestly say I have never seen a small venue done better. You gotta go! More

I took my daughter here years ago with my nephew. They both loved it. Old firetrucks, dressing up like a fireman, fun old photographs... It was a fun short trip. More

Not something I would normally do, but watching my mans face as he went over all the Fire Engines was amazing, they just dont grow up do they. He loved it, i liked the 9/11 part they had upstairs, very moving. I must admit I learnt a fair bit, and the kids that were there, really took it all in. More

The collection is quite nice to see, but when I was there, there were children running and shouting everywhere. They must have had a great time, I am quite sure of that, but this may complicate the stories the museum tells. More
