What travelers are saying
- JLeisMomMaine94 contributionsThe displays varied wildly in quality and maintenance, but still fun, regardless. The rocks and minerals display was truly world-class, as was the fossil area. However, literally NOTHING worked in the body area - not a single display. This is really too bad because the potential to learn an absolute ton was definitely there. Time to shut that one down and completely gut and revamp it. Kids who are into dinosaurs are likely to have a wonderful time as huge, life-sized skeletons and absolutely everywhere in the museum! We very, very much enjoyed the Poisons exhibit and I learned quite a lot. Not too many screaming, out of control children, despite it being Monday of a holiday weekend! We very much appreciated the free admission for military, as my daughter (21) is active duty and my husband is a vet.Written September 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eva TUnited Kingdom4,579 contributionsThe current station (from 1914) was built on the same spot where the previous one burned down in 1894. Inside the building is Crawford Hotel and many restaurants. They still do some renovation inside when we came to Denver but we still saw how beautiful the building is. The platform are very modern but I think it's not the best solution for only partial cover as when we waited for the train it was extremely hot and there was not enough shady places where to hide and sit. It would also help some indication/signage about coming and leaving trains and destinations. After spending a few days in Denver we travelled to Glenwood Springs but nowhere was an information which platform is the train departing from. We needed to ask several people. Inside was very busy, nearly all tables were occupied. It would help if there will be some information about taxi services as that seems to be problem there. You need to know the phone number because there is no permanent waiting bays for taxi outside the building - after about hour waiting in front of the building my husband went to the hotel reception and the receptionist kindly helped us.
I gave only 4 starts to this review just because of missing information for tourists like us.Written August 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tim WYoungstown, OH67 contributionsI am an art museum fanatic, visiting sites across the country and globally. The Denver Museum of Art is one of the best in the world! Regardless of your specific favorite genre of art, you can find something appealing here. The range of styles, formats, subjects and eras is breathtaking. Somewhat unique and intriguing are the Native North American, South American, African and Asian collections. It is a very worthwhile stop.Written September 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- kflynncrooksJacksonville, FL5 contributionsI enjoyed this tour due to our knowledgeable guide. The house was full of history and authentic details. It was a nice contrast to the many nature centered tours we enjoyed!Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Melissa WBartonville, IL161 contributionsWe love distillery tours, every one is different. Michael was great and explaining the history of this one.
Wish we had room to purchase some to take home. The craft cocktails in the bar were very unique. We went on a Friday night and they had live music.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They have some hands on exhibits. We went first thing when they opened and received a discount by the time we left it was starting to get crowded. The have a restaurant and gift shop there.Written August 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Deborah D12 contributionsThis was the second Meow Wolf my sister and I experienced. The first one was in Santa Fe, which I would have to say was slightly better than the Denver experience. This place is still worth the visit (we spent almost 3 hours here), but the Santa Fe experience had more hidden doors and fun places to crawl through/around. Get the interactive QPass card to make the experience more interactive. The nachos at the snack bar were pretty good tooWritten June 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tracey ALitlleton8 contributionsWe were looking for a place to spend the day and relax for my husband's birthday. We stumbled upon Oakwell Beer Spa and couldn't believe the concept. Beer and spa? Are we in heaven? The spa exceeded any expectations we had going in. The interior is beautiful, inviting, warm and so chill. The beer wall had amazing choices and we loved that a local brewery is featured each month. Cute jars of munchies to take into the spa area. And then the rooms. Perfectly lit, great music, atheistically calm and tastefully decorated. Loved the conversation topics in the sauna and lounge area. The access to the sauna, shower and tub all in one made things so convenient and easy. The time just flew by. So cool. Great concept, warm and welcoming staff and an overall treat of a day. Made it an extra special birthday for my husband. Can't wait for the opening of the store down south. Count us in! Thank you.Written September 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Craig W9 contributionsWorth the time and money. Great history lesson for anyone especially the young kids.

- John JPalm Springs, CA46 contributionsI have visited approximately 45 car museums and this one is certainly worthwhile. Not the best and far from the worst I've been to over the last 40 years. It is a "transportation museum" so the trains and especially the motorcycles are unusual.Written August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ginger B ROswego, NY531 contributionsWe went here to get a picture of the mile high step, and ended up walking around the whole area. It is very scenic and pretty. Then we walked to the art museum to see the sculptures. It is worth checking out once, but there isn't too much in the way of eateries or bars in the area.Written September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tim WYoungstown, OH67 contributionsWhat a unexpected delight! The various galleries, featuring different periods of design, are all exceptionally well curated. The flow pattern is very easy to follow and logical. I was impressed not only with the format, but the depth of the items in the collection. The combination of paintings, furniture, and utilitarian artifacts, along with significant examples of designs and designers creations truly enhanced the experience. It was well worth the time and nominal cost, whether your focus is the decorative or historical aspect of collectionsWritten September 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa D2 contributionsEverything was great. Went for NKOTB concert! The staff was amazing, are bartender was great! Security was very friendly! We had no problem!

- Bernard WDallas, TX1,914 contributionsWe arrived at 10 am and got a noon tour that lasted until 1:15 pm tour. Free tickets are available only day of. When we went in June no coins were actually being minted, which was sad. Still we learned a lot and enjoyed this free tour. If you bring an empty water bottle in, you can fill it with water once inside the mint. Immediately after exiting security, there are two floors of extremely interesting displays related to money. I would have liked to spend more time there. The gift shop near the tour entrance is air-conditioned. You can also change dollars for coins in a machine.Written June 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
