Pretty sweet. I went at 3pm and there were far too many people there. I highly recommend going when they first open or on a weekday, because the crowd kind of killed my ability to vibe. But I still had a great time. I spent about 2h in there and I’m really not sure if I got to see everything. It was easy to get turned around, but I actually liked that part. There were endless pathways. You never know what you’re going to run into next.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! With that said, if you're easily overwhelmed, prepare mentally ahead of time since it's a LOT. There's usually a lot of people, noise, and so many colors. However, it's super cool to look at every single detail in each room. We were there for four hours, and we don't think we even explored half of it. But like I said, it's pretty great if you're prepared to be assaulted with lots of colors and weird visuals. Definitely worth it for the art nerds of the world. Also, stop by the lounge. It's freaking awesome and relaxing from the nonstop crazy.
I recently delved into the mesmerizing world of Meow Wolf Denver and came out utterly fascinated. The eclectic art demands hours of exploration. A word of advice: open every door and peek around every corner, as surprises await at every turn. Whether you're encountering aliens or stepping into different dimensions, the experience is truly unparalleled. After the adventure, unwind at the 'Sips with a Z Lounge' - their drinks are delightful and the eats, irresistibly fun. My recommendation? Dive in without any preconceived notions. Your experience at Meow Wolf will be as unique as the art itself.
Even if you don't go for the light show, this place is incredibly chill, welcoming, and fun to check out and relax with cool people.
This was an amazing experience completely unmatched! From beginning to end I felt my inner child jumping for joy! So much fun. We went through room after room of cool interactive things, yet we still didn’t see it all! Spent over 3 hours here and could have stayed longer. Well worth the ticket :)
A thoroughly interesting experience from start to finish. The variety of the "regions" and the artistry that went into so many little details to tie elements together was enjoyable from start to finish.
Allot an entire afternoon, if you can. Anything less than a few hours feels like you'd leave lacking the same enjoyment or feel like you got your money's worth.
Without delving into potential spoilers, I definitely recommend adding a Q-Pass to your registration. The experience is sufficient without it, but having it notably added to my enjoyment.

My friend and I are SO happy we stopped here! Amazing scenery, and entertaining atmosphere. Inside there is so much to do: play video, and board games, as well as color, take pictures. The best part was the light show inside the church, definitely a must see if visiting or living in Denver
While the team might not be the best in the league, this field is pretty dang great. The bar by the outfield is a fantastic place to socialize and have a great time, and the prices were not terrible (considering you’re at a stadium). I think my drink was $12, and that was for a double. The seats are comfortable and a decent size, and there are great opportunities for kids to watch practice and interact with players before the game. The hot dogs are not as good as back home in Chicago, but the options for food are varied and relatively-decently priced. All in all, if you’re coming here, you can probably have a good time for a fair price.
Very pretty park with a beautiful, redone playground. We were by the playground and the bathrooms were locked. There were 2 pota potties in badly need of service today. The rest of our visit was amazing.
Best walk and park with Restaurants all around and a Target! Living here is sublime and next to all the major pro sports and concert stadiums.
This place is very dark. I saw a lot of images that I did not agree with. They looked like they were worshiping evil. Rather scary honestly. There also was just some very dark environment and it is not kid friendly. Definitely not a place for kids. I feel like you needed to be on drugs. There really wasn’t any explanation as to what this place was. But if this is considered art. I don’t want anything to do with it or my family. I would never step foot back in here again. You have to pay $16 for parking in the parking lot and then you have to pay $40-$35 if you’re a resident and five dollars less for kids. They don’t even have a nursing area for mothers so women are breast-feeding in the bathroom!! oh, and you have to leave your stroller outside. I don’t know what this places is but it’s definitely is not a good one!! Don’t waste your money!!
Took a walk today around part of this beautiful lake that is right by my work. It was led by the Sloans Lake Park Foundation, who put together a history of the man made (however accidently) it was created to the steamboat dinner cruises to Denver. Even about the amusement parks that used to exist on the shore lines. The lake has some serious issues and they ate working to get it health so maybe someday they can stock dish and have swimming again!! #savesloanslake
The light show was awesome. Very visually pleasing. At the end of the show they do let you record or take pics but it's only for 1 minute so have your camera ready. After the show you can hang out and play retro games. I'm here right now writing this review. Highly recommend!
Beautiful museum with some awesome exhibits. I love how each floor is dedicated to a specific art style and culture. The layout is well done and each floor is filled with incredible pieces. It took about 3 hours to complete, across 2 buildings and a small break to eat a snack. Employees are friendly and helpful if you are lost or have questions. I would definitely recommend this museum for a family or solo outing!
Absolutely geat museum. What we were not happy about was the screaming, running, pushing kids that parents had absolutely zero control over the kids many times even supporting theirs ridiculous behavior. Do not go to this museum on Sunday if your priority is to enjoy it even in semi peaceful mode.
Beautiful baseball stadium in downtown Denver. This stadium is a few blocks away from Union Station and easy to walk to. So many restaurants and bars nearby for a drink or two before or after the game. This stadium has some awesome views of the mountains off in the distance. A great selection of food to choose from, we tried several things from tacos, brats and the fried dough; everything was delicious!
Coors Field is a true gem among ballparks. Ranked at #13 on my professional stadium tour, it comfortably earns a spot in my top 5. Despite being only 28 years old, it exudes the charm of an old-time ballpark. Everywhere you turn, you'll find nods to Rockies history, and the views are equally breathtaking. Coors Field excels in areas where other stadiums often fall short; the food is both delicious and reasonably priced, ensuring that enjoying dinner at the game won't break the bank. Plus, the free parking lot shuttle is a fantastic perk. Although parking comes at a cost, having a shuttle option is perfect for those who prefer not to walk or have children in tow. All in all, Coors Field is a treasure in Denver that deserves a visit from both diehard baseball fans and casual enthusiasts alike.
This vehicle was parked in the employee parking area for the museum with a disgusting message on the rear window self proclaiming the employee as a cop murderer. Brought this to the attention of the front desk employees of the museum to which they seemed to have cared less. What a despicable message for your employee to embrace, and to associate your business to by taking no action against it when it is brought to your attention.
It was okay, honestly I was not very impressed. The cowboy theme is alright. Building and views are great, nice roof top.
Such a fun stadium! Huge and busy but it was an amazing experience! Make sure to arrive early if you want to experience it all and if you park in B parking lot, they offer a shuttle because it’s a long walk otherwise. Lots of food options, just be prepared to wait in line. Friendly staff and great energy!
We hadn’t been to the Denver zoo in a few years and I was so impressed with the transformation that has taken place. They have redeveloped multiple areas of the park to better accommodate animals and allow for close up viewing. Several areas are under reconstruction and I’m excited to see what is coming next! We had special sightings of a baby mandrill, wallabies being trained, an elephant presentation, and a baby sloth from right underneath. All staff were friendly and informative and seem to really care.
This was a massive disappointment. The zoo itself is clean and the staff is friendly. But that’s about all I can say that’s positive. I’ve been to a lot of zoos over the years and this one was by far the most empty one I’ve ever been to. More animal exhibits are empty/being rebuilt than ones with animals.
We were really excited as first time visitors. But I couldn’t suggest spending the time or money in the current empty state it’s in.

Walking in was gasp worthy. There was so much to see, read and interact with. I came here with a party of 8 and we did a Scavenger Hunt. It was great! It's a very unique experience and we really enjoyed the creativity and time that was put into this. Staff were friendly and helpful. There were nooks and crannies everywhere with some interesting stories to match. So happy we visited. Never seen anything like this!
They really like to trap you in the elephant and monkey exhibits so you can't find your way out but overall it's a fine zoo. The short and sweet elephant show was great with lots of conservation info and Jake (the elephant) did such a good job! You can tell the employees really care, for example an orangutan mommy had just given birth and they had a zookeeper there explaining everything and keeping order so all guests could see the baby. I also really liked their animal hospital and that you can observe procedures, very unique and awesome experience if something is going on. The only thing I'd wish was for more big cats :)
First time visiting the Denver Art Museum, last weekend.
It's 20 to get in if you're a non member and 16 if you are a student.
The museum is in 2 adjoining buildings. There were many artist exhibits as we enjoyed the Asian along with the Latin American rooms. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the Denver area.

I love baseball and enjoying a game in Colorado is best case when you visit Coors field. I was able to find parking even with the broncos game partaking nearby. I had very reasonable seats and food once inside the stadium. Rockies fans were absolutely amazing even with my Padres gear on visiting as a spectator. The stadium was super clean and very walkable. I’d highly recommend checking out this stadium for a ballgame if you love baseball.
Massive, *phenomenal* museum!!
Like Disney for art lovers - I didn't even have time to explore the whole thing in an afternoon...
Awesome mix of classics and contemporary.
Beautiful building itself, and I *love* the forward-facing acknowledgement of the indigenous peoples who first were on the land
Admission was free on the day I happened by, and there was also a huge pow-wow taking place - serendipity!

Went to the museum on free museum day, and although it was busy, it was a great experience. It's right across the street from a city bus, so it's pretty easy to get to. There are elevators, if you are in a wheelchair, and escalators if you prefer that. However, the dining situation is a tad bit confusing. Overall, it's a really interesting place to visit.
Great place to spend the day! There is a TON to see! They do a good job of pulling in a variety of exhibits and keep you interested. We couldn’t believe how many floors there were! We are by no means frequent art museum goers but I definitely would recommend this one!
Great huge zoo. 5 mile walk to see it all. Perfect weather today made it a great experience. The 4 lion brothers and the baby mandrill right at the glass were truly memorable.
It's one of the biggest and most amazing zoos I've been to!
The park is HUGE, and they even have live performances from the sea lion! It's actually cool seeing them in action. I think we spent a good 2-3 hours here, and the time flew by!
The Online portal to buy tickets was a bit confusing since I feel like they're still using the old covid protocol & asking us what time slot we wished to come in at, I decided to just bite the bullet and buy tickets at the door and it worked, we didn't have to wait for a timeslot or anything, we walked right in. 😀
Most of the animals were up and alert. We even got to see the tiger walking around when they're usually sleeping.
Wish I tried some of the food they were selling cause it all smelled so good.
I'd definitely come back!

My visit to the Denver Art Museum was a cultural journey I won't forget! The diverse art collection is truly captivating.
Tip: Check their website for special exhibitions and parking info. The Hamilton Building's architecture alone is worth the visit. An artistic treasure in the heart of Denver! 🎨🏛️
We were late and I had to leave for my flight. The attendant lady at the counter was such a sweet that she refunded our fees as we are not going to spend much time here.

My work team of about 30 had a team field day at Sculpure Park and had a fantastic time. We worked with a DMC to book the park and a company to facilitate our activities. The park was sectioned off with flags around the perimeter and included a security guard at every entrance. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful setting!
The nachos are delicious! But if you are in the 111 section at Sunset you will become blinded for a while at the beginning of the game! The whole experience was wonderful. It was my first baseball game and I was delighted! I just don't understand why they put their hand by their butt before they pitch the ball. I mean, yeah their butts are already very noticeable, those pants! Also very much enjoyed the fresh lemonade and giant bags of popcorn. Wholesome fun.
Saw the Low Rider exhibit with the work crew after Labor day. Beautiful displays, great history, and informed tour guides. Lost my group twice and made acquaintances/friends quick with other people until reconnected. Atmosphere was welcoming. A few doors didn't have a button, so when I was without my crew and no one around it was hard to get my wheelchair through.
If you are into Baseball, well, you will of course love the experience of attending a game at Coors Field. If you are not into baseball, you might become a convert after watching a game here. The stadium is modern, clean, and well laid out. On the not so fun side, the concession prices are jaw dropping. You are better off bringing your own food, which they do allow. The other caveat is, beware of where you choose to park. Lots A and B sound like good options, but only if you like to walk. I mean you should really like to walk as these are somewhat far from the stadium.
The Museum is an absolute gem! I had a fantastic time spending a few hours walking around and immersing myself in the thought-provoking exhibits. The diverse range of contemporary art on display is truly impressive.
It’s okay for a park. The boating area is nice (with the moored dragon boats). This park is best for joggers, long-distance walkers, and cyclists. Other than that it’s not too interesting. It’s basically a marked cement path around a barren lake with few trees and mostly in the sun. My dog lost interest as well. There’s also blue-green algae currently infesting the water which makes it lethal for animals should they happen to drink from the water or bathe in it and lick themselves afterwards. It’s a long way around as well…be prepared for that.
A lovely place to spend time with the family. If you're a single person then just time to be alone and enjoy yourself. A free place without fees that quickly add up to an expense time. Well maintained grass and area. Safe and secure for all to have a good time. Hear your thoughts even with traffic nearby. The holidays here are really beautiful with digital lights.
Went here with my family during a recent trip to Denver and had a fantastic experience. There is a huge variety of animals here and the park is very big so we couldn't even see everything. Loved the sea lion show, and the elephant habitat was very impressive. The park amenities are in very good shape, and there are a lot of good food and beverage options. They have coffee and beer for adults, which is always appreciated.
This zoo requires you to buy tickets in advance, so make sure you look into that before you go. We didn't have an issue getting tickets, but we bought 10 days in advance just to make sure.
There is some ongoing construction but nothing that should really affect your experience too much. The zoo is also a little tricky to navigate, and the app is pretty much worthless. Better wayfinders would be very helpful. Also, do not pay for the train ride. It only lasts about 5 minutes and you can't see anything.
I definitely recommend this zoo for families and animal lovers. You'll have a great time.

Amazing art museum. One of the best I’ve been to. They have a great variety of art with a couple of statement pieces. They have original Van Gogh and Monet! I would highly recommend this to everyone and you can find something that interest you even if you aren’t an art lover.
Garland park can and should become a garland for the neighboring community. But seems to be under renovation and looked unorganized. There are park, playgrounds and all other facilities but the local authorities are working hard to bring back the past glory
A former local urban getaway complete with giant waterslides and a rollicking cruise, Sloans Lake Park is now surrounded by development, bordering Denver and Edgewater. The grounds are well-maintained and well lit with tennis courts, a boat jetty and other amenities. All credit goes to the City Of Denver Parks And Recreation department for upgrading the facilities several years ago and maintaining it in good condition. A cool breeze coming from the west tonight rippled waves on the lake and created a beautiful setting for a summer evening in 2023.
We had a great time at the museum! When we visited, they had free entry for active duty military and the special exhibit on bugs. There was so much to read and interact with and the staff was so super pleasant and seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. The taxidermy displays looked really good in the naturalistic environments, the gem and mineral exhibit was so interesting, and there was plenty for children to do. I think all of us agreed that the dinosaur/extinct animals was one of the best parts.
Giving a one star solely based on the quality of the grass, or lack thereof. The park is 90% weeds and is so unpleasant to walk through if it’s not on the sidewalk. I wish the city would put the time and resources in to fixing the grass. Wonderful park otherwise!
A very fun experience. I really loved that the areas all stuck to their own individual themes so well. It made you feel as if every new room you walked into was a different world. Definitely worth the money, if you spaced it all out and didn’t get worn down you could easily spend a whole day in there. I wish that we would have bought the interactive add-on, but now that we know we have an exciting reason to come back!
Amazing ballpark!! Absolutely loved the openness and site lines around the field, and it’s overall fan friendly feel. Concessions were plenty and moved very fast, every employee encountered were courteous and fun, and seat views were incredible. Parking, and getting in and out were cake. Ticket prices were exceptional, we had tickets in section 115, row 3, - excellent value!! If you are a Rockies fan or just love the game of baseball, put this one on your list. Can’t wait for my next visit!!
We had our end of conference street fest here. Perfect venue for this, we had food trucks a disco dance floor and the band was awesome. Couldnt have asked for a better location and vibe. Perfect
Amazing experience!! I wasn’t sure what to expect when we came across this place but we were pleasantly surprised. It’s a beautiful light show with mediation. The lounge is filled with fun nostalgic games and art. We will definitely be coming back next time we visit Denver.
Symmetry Financial Group party was fantastic! The location was so convenient for everyone that stayed in the hotels surrounding the convention center so it made for a perfect backdrop for our end of conference party. There were a lot of staff people on the streets to show us the direction, all happily telling us to have fun and a few entrepreneurs offering bicycle taxi rides to and from the event although walkable, it sure is nice to have the option!
They had many food trucks, clean portable toilets including AD and trailers, an outdoor gas fireplace, corn hole games, beer pong? With trash cans lol 🤷🏻♀️ a FANTASTIC live band and adult beverage bars around the whole park so nobody had to wait in line.
I know that the google review is about the park and since this is our only or first time at this park, I wanted to explain the details of our visit that formed our opinion of this park.

Such a great place, wonderful sculpture s and atmosphere. We had the entire area for a company shindig and it was beyond amazing! We had a dozen food trucks, beverage stations, dance floor and band!
My family travels to aquariums and zoos every chance we get. This is by far one of the BEST zoos we have visited. It is clear that the employees have a deep concern for the animals, the environment, and for conservation. They were happy to speak to all of the visitors and answers questions and offer information about the exhibits.
There was much care given to ensure the safety of the animals, which included taking them off of display if it was in the animal’s best interest. This was actively communicated to the visitors through Keepers Notes.
If an animal was not in it’s normal location, this was also communicated. Absolutely LOVED this zoo and highly recommend visiting it.

There is actually 2 (two) Garland Parks. One in Aurora, another right off Monaco & South Cherry Creek Drive. So in fairness to both, I'm going to give 4 stars. Most were doing the right thing with their dogs and people were pleasant, some actually sweet to me. Lovely days of working out in Denvers Parks.
I've wanted to go to this museum for many years and finally got the chance to go for a couple of hours. It was so worth the wait. Very much a hidden gem in Denver, this gallery blew me away. You can get up close and personal with the greatest artists of the American West, including my favorite: Albert Bierstadt. They provide a free audio guide that's pretty good and takes about an hour if you listen without pause. The first floor gallery is in Salon Style, which is unique and quite fitting. No pictures allowed, but you will hopefully be so engrossed you won't consider taking your phone out.
I went for Anna Tsoularakis and stayed for Tomashi Jackson. Loved this little museum! Just the right size to see it all. Cute roof deck. I really liked the teen art on the top floor too.
Incredible experience!! Highly recommend this to anyone considering visiting. The light show was well worth the price of admission and the vibes were great throughout the whole building. I really enjoyed all the art & decor too.
Was not sure what to expect but it is definitely worth visiting. They have a light show that is very cool to see. It is family-friendly during visiting hours. There were a couple kids there. There’s also a game room with old arcade games and a couple places for Mario cart. Definitely a fun spot to visit. Accessible by bus + short walk or car. It’s in a more residential area so you should be able to find some street parking if you drive.
I had so much fun at the museum the other day with my fam. Honestly, I’ve only had good experiences at the art museum and have really great memories of when we saw the Monet exhibit a few years back. I remember it being a great night out with my hubby and we LOVED the beautiful paintings. I think they have a ton of new artwork! I was blown away by all the amazing art!
This is a really fun, large, and clean zoo. They have a wide variety of animals and exhibits. Being quite large, it does require a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to take breaks if you come with very young children. It was also quite hot the day we went, and while there is some shade around the zoo, you may want to prepare by bringing water and sun protection. The elephant exhibit was especially impressive. We really enjoyed this zoo and would definitely recommend it for families and anyone who enjoys seeing animals!
There is not that much to see in this park! I do not know why it is marked as attention. It is just a few (maybe 3) sculpture in the whole place
Went on a whim because we had a few hours to kill. We have a reciprocal pass from our local museum so that was awesome (we were going either way). Tons of energy and kids there when we went. Was so great to see everyone so happy. For our 3 year old it was perfect. (Let her walk a ton and get tired). For us adults not a ton of different things compared to other science museums in big cities except for the huge rock collection they have on the first floor. Overall very easy to get in and out and free parking (can’t say the same for Dallas)
We came here for a summer vacation from Frisco TX. And we are happy that we went to the museum. The museum is very engaging, informative, and big for all ages. We almost spent 4-5 hours in the museum and also went to the planetary science movie, which is around 25 minutes and it was amazing. And if you talk about price, it’s not that pricey and worth to visiting. Totally recommended 👍🏻
Great place to visit with family and alone. Kids loved it, 3 floor full off beautiful artifacts. Kids loved that health and science part and my favorite is wild animals. They have an amazing gem stones with lots to history attached to it. Took almost 4 hours to complete the whole thing ( without special event ). Free parking open and garage they even had free EV charging stations. A must place to visit.
Magical, brilliant, historical collection of some of the greatest works of western artists. Talent beyond measure has created a notable depiction of the evolution of the West. The house which contains these treasures is also amazing. Highly recommend.
An absolute gem of a place. Hundreds of great western paintings with an audio guide for $5.
I can hardly think of a better way to spend two hours.

Great introduction to western art; the guided tour is definitely the best and takes a little over 1 hour. Loved the delivery, the interaction of the guide and the overall appreciation gained.
Great for bike riding! Flat straightaways and well maintained path. Lots of pedestrians. Edgewater offers unique and beautiful views of downtown Denver.
This is a really nice park that I had no idea even existed. A friend lives right by it and we did picnic with a bunch of friends and it was really lovely.
Stopped in after Meow Wolf and it was a lovely experience. Still surreal and psychedelic, but less overwhelming. The meditation and light show were so relaxing, the space is beautiful inside and out, plenty of games to keep anyone occupied. A nice way to end my time in Denver.
P.S. Despite the name, no cannabis is allowed during public hours, only at member events. I'm impressed by the lack of smell and the gorgeous artwork.

Beautiful western art and a vast collection of high-quality art! The collection should receive 5 stars, but the staff should receive 3. Maybe we came on an off day that was rainy, but still no excuse! We stood in the rain waiting for the door to be unlocked an hour after the museum opened and was greated by a gruff woman and security guard. Then it continued to be a very stern, dismal environment until we had a helpful security guard on the 4th floor who told us how to use the audio tour and greated us with a smile! Maybe something happened right before we arrived, but that is no excuse. We traveled a long way to see this collection. The staff needs to work on it's people skills to make this collection more enjoyable!
I’m completely confused as to how anyone could leave anything but a five star review for this museum. It is jam packed with stunning art that really captures the history and essence of the West. Admission is only $5!! I highly recommend all visitors and locals check this incredible museum out. If you like looking at art or reading about history, you should consider paying this place a visit. I loved it.
Great park! An easy path with beautiful views of downtown and the mountains. Took about 40-45 minutes to walk the full loop at a casual speed and stopping to take pictures. There were plenty of people around but didn’t feel crowded on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
I love this museum! I could spend all day wondering around the exhibits. Granted there is some room for improvement but this most likely has to do with a funding related issue. That’s why we should visit as often as possible!
The Expedition Health exhibit is one of my favorites! I wish the lab was open more and there were a few more tests since technology has evolved. But it’s still super awesome for kids that are over 9 years old. The space exhibit will be enjoyed by kids of all ages. There’s even a fantasy spaceship that’s fun for all ages.
Some of the exhibits with growling animals may be a little too scary for kids. But there’s tons of other cool stuff to do and look at. Worse case scenario, there’s a bug exhibit, an IMAX and the planetarium.
During the summer there is also a water feature where kids can play in water which overlooks city park. I think it would be worth it to visit when you can make it an all day event! You can lunch in the park, play in the water, see a lot of exhibits, and end the day with an IMAX or planetarium show 😊.

During the summer there is also a water feature where kids can play in water which overlooks city park. I think it would be worth it to visit when you can make it an all day event! You can lunch in the park, play in the water, see a lot of exhibits, and end the day with an IMAX or planetarium show 😊.
Beautiful destination with water and mountain views, now being renovated and upgraded so many areas are restricted. A nice life style place to go, as it's along the Cherry Creek easily accessible by bike. Overwhelming amount of birds that fly over the lake and feed on flying insects. Many water fowl, squirrels and yes geese. Great place to ride or teach someone to, public restrooms and areas to picnic. Large fields adjoin the park for soccer etc. Nice to see Denver investing in this public space in conjunction with water management upgrades.
Denver Museum of Nature and Science is a must-visit attraction for anyone visiting or living in the area. With fascinating exhibits, educational content, and engaging activities, it offers a memorable experience for visitors of all ages. From dinosaurs to space exploration, the museum covers a wide range of scientific topics, providing a perfect blend of entertainment and learning. Don't miss out on this enriching and enjoyable destination!
Great open space by the performance art center, cool sculpture.
Garland Park is a nice neighborhood park, one of the largest parks along the Cherry Creek, and there's plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. The park offers various recreational activities such as a playground, tennis courts, a baseball field, and even a volleyball court. The ample green space also makes it an ideal spot for picnics, sports, or just taking a leisurely stroll.
Parking is readily available at the park, which is always a plus, and there are also restrooms onsite.

Loved this museum! It was well spaced out and curated. I really like how they did the pull slides to show multiple artists’ work. They had a variety of things which was nice if you go with someone who likes different art.
First time here and loved the vibe, so many artists I've never seen, great selection and friendly staff. Wasn't too crowded either! 10/10 would visit again.
I love art and Never have been to the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. Just my luck They had an exhibit called The Dirty South which was wonderfully laid out throughout the museum. I can't wait to come back for more meaningful exhibits. An excellent space!
Wow!! What a place! And I went for the Dirty South exhibition, and it was incredible! The set up at this place is really amazing. They have multiple floors and spaces (including a basement, 4 floors & even a café with a rooftop space & a kids space upstairs!) it’s stunning. 2 unique things to check out: their a lending library and a borrow art program. Very unique!!
A little bit of everything. Playground for ages 5+ and separate one for toddlers. Swings, slides, sand play pit, monkey bars. 4 tennis courts, a basketball court, 4 sand volleyball courts, baseball fields, a walking/biking path around a small lake. Bathrooms were closed for the season (Oct) but there was a well maintained porta potty.
My family loves this park! We go here often! We love that there is soooo much to do! Volleyball, basketball, the park, grills, the lake! It's well maintained and people who attend the park are always super friendly.
This is where I live I love this area and recommend it to all my friends to move into this neighborhood. Nice Park and Lake, a lot of space for kids, for sport. mostly all entrances still lock for cars since were locked during the pandemic, but enough parking anyway, except if there are some festivals or games at the Broncos stadium.
Oh what a cool experience! We wanted to come through in 2017 but it was not open when we were around, so today was such a treat! It's absolutely gorgeous and the vibe is so calming. I love that it's family friendly as well - I know my girls would love to see the show if they were here.
Definitely recommend!!
Definitely recommend!!
Jam packed with incredible paintings! There is no photography allowed inside. Admission fee was very affordable, and an absolute steal for a chance to see this talent :)
We were here for 2021 Punk in Drublic. Great place for a show! Plenty of space for the stage and vendors and the parking was super convenient. They had giant jugs of water so that we could refill our water bottles which was awesome because it was HOT. We had a great time!
I was not able to enter because they were closed. From what I can see on the outside they were interesting hustory. Maybe next time I can get in when I return to Colorado.
Thanks to the Anschutz family for making such a magnificent collection available for public viewing. In addition to their value as fine art, the paintings—mostly oils—have historic importance as depictions of life in the West prior to photographs or when photography was still in its infancy. Just a couple of drawbacks: The building, though charming, is too small for the collection, so that the paintings are crammed literally from floor-to-ceiling. This makes it hard to get a good view of paintings that are too high or too low. Moreover, the lighting relies mostly on traditional spotlights that create shiny bright spots on some of the works, especially those near the ceiling. Nevertheless, a memorable and worthwhile experience!
the best place! clean facility and helpful staff!
I like the Mizel Museum. It is a museum dedicated to Jewish art. I enjoyed their permanent exhibits. I liked the exhibit called Abide which is a photography exhibit on survivors of the Holocaust. It is a small museum and does not change exhibits that often. It is still worth a trip to.
Small but very interesting. You should check it out ☺️
The Mizel Museum is small in size but big in impact. The displays are beautifully arranged with good explanation of what you are seeing. There is a general area and an area of the history of Jews in Colorado and a room with the news relating to WWII. In March there will be a display of pictures of Holocaust survivors. Informative, interesting and beautifully done.
A really great experience. Such emence Cultural knowledge.
Mizel Museum hosted a community screening of the Holocaust survivor documentary Big Sonia. I am so grateful to this organization for holding space for such important topics, especially in a time where suffering and genocide still play a huge role in the world. I'm excited to get more involved with he museum's programs! Their mission truly hits home for me.
A great museum that features Jewish history and culture. Very informative and the employees were helpful.
