Most of the exhibits are not educational, this is not a place where kids are going to learn very much. It's mostly a glorified play area. Not sure where the "museum" part is. Also, the day we went it was messy, and dirty. Bring your own hand sanitizer. More

My son is 5 now but has visited the Children's Museum several times since the age of 2. The downstairs play area has a ton of fun things for babies and small children to explore. Upstairs, you will find a woodshop and other activities for preschoolers and older children. Everyone will have a good time! More

Hard to find but was a good place. Kids loved it. Lots to do for ages 3-8. Very close to mile high stadium and a joining parking lot to aquarium restaurant. Save $5 bucks and say going to childerens place and not have to pay for parking. More

We were visiting Denver with our two children 3yr and 10 months. I thought the facility was beautiful, they had most of the first floor for the little ones. Loved the feel of the rooms, calm, relaxing, and almost Montessori like. We live in Chicago and can't wait to go back and visit. More

Though the museum itself was really cute, my son (3) and my friend's son (also 3) come out with splinters in their hands. My son had 2 larger ones and about 10 really small ones. The other boy had to go to the emergency room there were so many. I kid you not, that the sight of his hands made... More

My children loved it. There are a lot of activities and shows for the children. It keeps the children busy along with the parents. More

We were in Denver with our 13 month old son just for a long weekend, staying at a hotel. The baby isn't walking yet, so we really needed to find a safe, clean place for him to get down and crawl. The Young Children's area at the museum was perfect! He crawled and played to his heart's content, and took... More

The Children's Museum of Denver is located downtown, and is usually busy enough it's difficult to find parking...but that's because it's so AWESOME! My children love it here, and we never seem to have enough time to see everything. It usually starts with a Fire Engine, complete with dress-up firemen coats and hats. Then we make our way to the...

We took my kids here for their 4rth Birthday and they loved it! There was so much to do and see; we didn't even get to see everything. So much of it is made so that kids can figure it out. They don't necessarily need a parent sitting with them the whole time and explaining everything. The only downfall is... More
