Watching the presentations about the solar system makes you feel like you're right there, riding alongside the planets and floating through space. Walking through the museum, interacting with the exhibits, and learning from the stewards made the visit even more enjoyable. It was also awesome to see school groups and summer camps exploring the museum. I love that the kids have a designated place to sit and eat their lunches instead of having to use the café. There is so much to see and learn that you can easily spend hours here. It's a great way to spend the day, whether you're visiting with family, friends, or on your own. Happy Yelping!

You do need to purchase a ticket to enter so I suggest doing that ahead of time. It also gives you a timeframe to enter just so it spaces out the crowds. Did you know that there's a scavenger hunt for gnomes, I think they look more like elves though lol the list of where to find the gnomes can be found on the museums website. This was really fun because it kept me guessing on where to look next, and when we came up to exhibit that supposedly had the gnome, I got to look really close at all the details of that exhibit. There are three levels to the museum, the ground floor, the second level and the third floor. Each one is broken up into different categories. They also have a laser show going on with different songs or movies for the theme. You do need to reserve a spot online so make sure you check out the showtimes, each week is different. I went with a friend and we blocked out three hours for this. The laser show we chose was roughly 30 minutes so we ended the day with the laser show. So the museum itself only took 2 1/2 hours.

We had an extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and funny guide who walked us through a few of the exhibits and then left us alone to look around, watch the videos, listen to audio and read the numerous displays. After hiking my first two 14ers this fall, I have even more of an interest in and appreciation for the incredible outdoor adventures our state has to offer, and this museum gives a great glimpse into them all, as well as some outside our fair state. The large 3D model of Everest was super cool and the info about each 14er was helpful. To read that a family with four children, one as young as 8, summited them all in just a few months really made my jaw drop! Dang. You can learn all about the unique aspects of our climate, types of geology, hypothermia, altitude sickness, the 10th Mountain Division, ice climbing, female outdoor pioneers and more. There is a portaledge set up to check out and a bunch of other displays of real live equipment and artifacts. I think my favorite things I read were all of the quotes sprinkled throughout that talked about the inspiration people take from these outdoor pursuits, and the indescribable feeling one gets from a summit, any summit. Colorado is a very special place and this museum definitely left me feeling so lucky to live here, and maybe a little more willing to take on some risk and adventure. If that also strikes your fancy, you can walk upstairs to the Colorado Mountain Club and get info about the many outdoor classes they offer, like I did :)

The Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum is the largest museum devoted to…read moremountaineering in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the very largest in the entire world. The museum is a little-known gem in Colorado and deserves greater exposure. The museum is a joint project of the American Alpine Club and the Colorado Mountain Club, and also features photographs and material provided by the National Geographic Society. Its mission is "to inspire in our visitors a greater appreciation for the mountains and for mountaineering, in all of its facets, including the cultural and inspirational qualities of the mountains and the sport; to help in the cause to preserve the mountains and the history of mountaineering; to educate our visitors and in so doing enhance their enjoyment and safety in the mountains." The museum is quite beautiful and is a good venue for a quarter-day or half-day in Golden, which itself is a very interesting place to visit with many other local museums and places of interest. The museum has an interesting collection of permanent displays and artifacts, including some of the most well-known artifacts in the history of mountaineering, as well as temporary exhibits and videos. It has a gigantic 3D model of Mt. Everest that shows the various routes to the top. There's also a display of Tenth Mountain Division equipment. There are numerous full-size mannequins with original equipment from - among other things - the first American expedition to summit Mt. Everest, some of the most famous Colorado mountaineers of the early 1900s. It's really interesting to see how technology and techniques have progressed in mountaineering. The museum does contain displays and hands-on exhibits that are of interest to younger kids, including a cool "crevasse" that they can jump over, and a hanging ledge shelter that they can hole up in. There's also a gift shop called the "Base Camp." Visitors should check the website at mountaineeringmuseum.org to make sure of the current hours and to learn about the latest exhibits.

On the day that I visited there was a special art event. A ticket included visiting all 3 buildings, and making an art project! It was inspiring to tour the museum and be in awe of the different paintings, pottery, woodwork, bright colors and then be creative! Entry fee for tickets is $22 for adults, $19 for seniors. The museum is so awesome you'll probably want to go back soon so do what I did.... Become a member! They have many different memberships for individuals or families. I chose the dual membership for 2 people and it's $95. It has many benefits so check it out online. Parking can be difficult and it requires paying for parking unless you are smart and use public transportation. That way you can have relax and avoid driving downtown. I love this museum and the ability to take the local train and be dropped off by the free 16th Street bus.

There are some interactive displays, that some children will enjoy. The docent at the front desk was helpful. What challenged me was parking. There is none nearby. I guess this is true for most Universities. The GPS took me to the museum and with 2 toddlers in tow, I parked in one of the 6 non marked, empty spaces. Just to be sure I asked if I needed a visitor permit for my car, when I was told those spots were not for visitors. I needed to look for parking elsewhere. I found there was parking available approximately 1/4 mile away and across Broadway. That is an extremely busy street. There are no pedestrian crosswalks near the museum. So fairly good museum -- difficult logistics made worse on cool rainy days.

All my favorite cars from my favorite shows of my teens and childhood. Everything from Herbie, the Mystery Machine, the A Team van, the Delorean from Back to the Future, Kitt from Knight Rider and so on. Our experience started by being greeted and checked in by a beautiful and friendly woman named Elliott. She was all smiles and puts a great face on this incredible place. She even let my two make companions in for free as there are in the military. This was exceptionally nice of her and this entire organization. I really support businesses that support or troops and their families. This museum is located in a great place. Huge viewing floor, well lit and beautifully maintained. There is plenty of parking and there's no stairs or steps to negotiate of any kind. They have a small gift ship and there is even a food truck in the parking lot. I enjoyed myself immensely and I'm looking forward to going back with a few other car enthusiast friends of mine. Again, thank you Elliott for making our visit so pleasant. We will be back soon.

I read an article from my local news that this museum of cars was going away, and I just had to…read moregive my support to this business. The mall itself is in a strip mall, and this is pretty much the biggest business here to hold all these cars in. So there's plenty of parking. Walked in and there was a person who greeted me right away. Very nice person. She and I chatted and she up gave the few rules like please don't touch the cars , don't cross the ropes, pretty much behave yourself. I paid my entry fee ($12) and looked around the little gift area that they had. When you walk past all of the curtains, it's huge with so many cool things to see. You can go clockwise or counterclockwise and then there is the center location of movie cars as well. I saw so many neat replicas and then actual movie used props and cars. Everything from Dukes of Hazzard, fast and the furious, fall guy , cobra Kai, Batman, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Christine, Transformers, back to the future, twisted metal, it's just amazing. There's so many I can't even list everything. They have interactive buttons, which I thought that was pretty cool. They have restrooms and a water fountain to refill your water bottles. There is lots to read about the cars and you can even inquire which ones are for auction. I spent a good hour and a half here. I really like the way that they set things up in here and I'm sad to see them go, but you can still go this week before they close down (August 2nd, 2025) to find a new location. This is a really cool thing for people of all ages and I do recommend checking them out.

This was my daughter's idea. We met at her apartment, and walked to the Center. We were greeted by a very nice lady, paid the admission, and walked around. The current exhibition is about the history of corsets. NGL, made me want to start wearing mine again. OMG, such tiny, tiny waists! And fun stories. One corset was worn by a woman who would paddle her children with the baleen from her corset!! That made us laugh. The Center is a Victorian house. We did the self-guided, because it was close to closing time. We didn't get to see upstairs, alas. I think that's only on the guided tour. This is a time capsule, the story of the cook and house manger, Carrie Erickson. The range is MAGNIFICENT. There are two ice boxes (you can open the smaller one). I cannot imagine cooking on that range. Wow. There's a pantry and a butler's pantry. There are silver tea and coffee services, heavy and chased. I really, really wanted to polish them, lol. Beautiful crystal. The ceilings are high, the walls paneled with wood or covered in wallpaper. The parlor furniture looks uncomfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! The historical notes were useful, showcasing different women of the era. The gift shop has many, many books, and a small selection of fun stuff. We like supporting museums, so I got a pin and a water bottle, and my daughter bought a tote bag with pictures of "badly behaved women" who made history. Vive la femme!

I booked tickets online to the historical tour and after a lunch at nearby Leven, we made our way to a gorgeous house on the corner of 13th and Bannock. We were the only women on the historical tour, which made for a more intimate and in-depth tour with our guide - who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and wowed us with stories of the family, and women who lived, learned and created a community within Denver. Both mom and I enjoyed the 1-hour tour, cutesy gift shop and the volunteers who spend their days educating the masses. I'd highly recommend this tour for women of all ages because it's a fun slice of women's history in the heart of downtown Denver!! PRO TIP: Check out your local county library perks/pass program.
