The railroad itself is amazing. Even those who know little about trains will be impressed, as there is so much more than trains; it is the whole world around the trains as well, reduced to 1/87th real size. Bits of actual railroad history scattered all around the perimeter with posted descriptions and explanations. The location of the museum is nice. Easy parking and plenty of real railroading right outside the door to the models. Entertaining for all ages.

This place is great! I completely forgot about a Groupon I…read morehad purchased a while back and we were able to use it just in time. Even without it though, it's a great price for what you get! There is so much to do and explore here! The music section is definitely a favorite as you get to test out so many instruments! Everything was well maintained (minus one or two exhibits that weren't functioning at the time). The toddler area is great for the little ones to be separate. Personally, I was absolutely stoked for the shadow wall - it's just a fun/silly thing to do. When we ventured upstairs we didn't realize there was a theater until a staff member asked if we were there to see the show. Since we had to get going, I asked if I could peak in real quick to check it out and he was totally fine with it. It looks so cool! We will definitely be back to catch a show in the future.

The gnome scavenger hunt is a MUST! It made it just a bit more exciting as you stroll through the museum. My boys enjoyed finding the gnomes. Some are easier to spot than others, but the different levels of difficulty makes it more challenging and fun! I like that there are several interactive stations to enhance the learning experience. It also makes it more interesting for younger kids. I appreciate that most of the exhibits had concise information. I do enjoy science, but it's nice to read the main point and move on. For many of the displays, they have small "I Spy" activities and the little ledges make it easy for small children to lean on or stand on for better visualization. Wildlife Halls had beautifully constructed dioramas. The Dinosaur Exhibit is always fun for my boys. Expedition Health was my favorite exhibit. There were some areas under construction/out of order, but that didn't take away from the experience since there was so much to see in general. I didn't pay extra for any of the other unique experiences and didn't feel like I missed out on anything. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and it was a great place to explore during our vacation in Denver.

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.

I was welcomed at the entry desk, upstairs from the entry from a free parking lot (and only a couple of blocks from the model railroad museum). I had specifically gone because of an exhibit about the team of French illustrators whose work for Harpers Weekly more than 150 years ago helped document the movement west, it was very impressive - I included several pictures even though this is the last week of the display. I am glad I stopped here and I think the people of Greeley have done a great job sharing and preserving their heritage!

Definitely check out the student section for some unbelievable up and coming talent in the art world!

The house itself is stunning; having been beautifully restored to Victorian splendour, it's charmingly reflective of the way its former residents would have lived. But it's the docents who are the real stars here - they're a group of incredibly passionate, lovely people who take every group of visitors around to introduce them personally to both Avery House, and the history of Fort Collins as a city. We especially enjoyed being able to explore and ask questions about all the small details in the house, from the furnishings to the lifestyles and stories behind every item. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone living in, visiting or passing through Fort Collins for how it lets you take a great look at one of the most interesting portions of the city's past.

The museum was founded in 1937 by local author and mountain guide, Harold Dunning, who had begun to collect historical memorabilia around 1919. Today it is an accredited art and history museum with a vibrant schedule of events and classes. Half of the museum covers the history of the area, highlighting Great Western Sugar (sugar beets), which was the major local employer in the first half of the 20th century. There is a small, but interesting gift shop and a basement auditorium, but the other key function of the museum is art exhibits of local, regional, and national interest. The north wing of the museum is a large gallery space. The auditorium and mezzanine are also used for art display. The museum has presented very well-curated exhibits over the years and I often enjoy making the long drive from Denver to get my art fix.

I learned, I was entertained, I took a walk down memory lane, and I enjoyed every second! We did not plan enough time as it is seven rooms so we will be going back before it ends to get more time with the 80's DIVAs! The music is great as you walk by the DIVA and it changes as you go. There is much to see and read, a real sensory treat that put a pep in my step for hours after we left. This is a must experience exhibit! The staff is always helpful and friendly and as members we got a discount on the tickets. And when they let us know we only had 15 minutes to get through several rooms, we appreciated the heads-up. Of course there is a wonderful variety of exhibits at DAM, and for the membership makes it where we get a great value and don't feel like we have to get through everything at once.

I did wish it were a bit more extensive, as I would have enjoyed seeing even more. I was curious whether the mannequins were proportioned to reflect each diva's actual size, though it certainly didn't take away from the experience. It would be fantastic to see a future exhibit dedicated to Bob Mackie and his incredible influence on fashion, iconic gowns, and the world of entertainment. The staff and volunteers were great and did an excellent job of encouraging respectful viewing. Some areas became crowded as visitors moved through the exhibit at different paces, but overall, it was a beautiful and memorable experience! Was it worth roughly $35 - eh not really in my opinion. To each their own! Parking in downtown is always a pain, so be prepared. All metered or paid surface lots incase you didn't know.
