We really enjoyed our visit to the museum. It was a hot day in Denver and the museum offered a cool…read moreand interesting place to explore for a few hours. There were lots of art periods and styles featured, which meant there was something for everyone to enjoy. If you are unsure of the experience, it's definitely worth checking out for a few hours.

A large, impressive museum with something for everyone. The main museum is technically two museums…read more(there are a total of three), the Hamilton building and the Martin building. Sections include modern and contemporary African art, arts of Oceania, Western American art, latin American art, indigenous art, alaskan art. They also have textile, fashion, and architecture exhibitions. They also have rotating temporary exhibitions. When I visited, it was European and American art. I had a little fun finding paintings of judgmental looking people and making a "we listen and we judge" instagram post. All the rooms are large and well curated/presented. I visited on a Tuesday and it was free (I still donated). On regular days, admission is 30 dollars, but gets you into all three museums, including the Kirkland (reviewed separately), which is right next door. I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves as far as the variety available at this museum.

Wow, my yesterday's visit to this historic park was so mesmerizing. It's because of their annual…read more(?) "Bright Nights" (originally a lantern festival.) It is said that they unveil a brand new theme each year and this year's theme appears to be focused on some Eastern cultures such as cherry blossom and bamboo forest with pandas. Not that I have been to many lights shows and yet I must say that I have never seen anything quite like this as far as my recollection is accurate. In its 12-acre land, the installations of lantern lights are everywhere. After 8:30pm or so when it's dark, the illuminations from the lanterns are glowing brighter than Las Vegas' illuminations (LOL - why am I comparing this to Las Vegas!!) According to the park's website, some of the sculptures are 23-foot tall (such as the cherry blossom gate.) It's currently open from Wednesday through Sunday until October 5th. And last night's was one of the adult-only nights where you must be 21+ to enter (I believe the next and last such night is Sept 17th. And this writing is as of late August of 2025.) I am already curious as to what the next year's theme is going to be. There is a centralized bar, some food vendors, a stage where a performer performs, and a DJ booth. Great for family time, girls' night or date night. Helpful staff were working tirelessly to assist all visitors. Although about 1,300 tickets were sold last night, it was never super jammed packed. There is still time to visit this enchanting light show. Not only for the locals but definitely one of the must-visit attractions for out-of-staters as well.

Recently went to the Bright Lights event at this park and had a wonderful experience walking around…read morethe luminous colorful tall lanterns. Every inch of the 12 acres had lights and even in the trees and bushes. So many details that it seemed realistic. Many of the lanterns were interactive such as stationary bikes or cranks to power the lights to glow even brighter. The staff were friendly and happy to help. This event is for young and old and I highly recommend going!

Considering that I paid the after 5pm discount fee of $5 [Tues-Thurs], I would rate it a 4/5. If I…read morehad to pay the regular $14 admission fee, I probably would rate it a 3-3.5/5. You have to park in the street. They do give you a free coin to store your belongings in a locker for the duration of your stay. The museum itself is kinda small. Although it has 3 floors, there's only 1-2 exhibitions per floor. The rooftop is also small & the outdoor city views are sort of limiting. So in general, you can easily complete the whole museum in a matter of 30-60 min tops. They feature rotating exhibitions. So every few months or so, the theme is different & you can come back to see totally new artwork. It's really nice that they feature local artists that are Denver based and display their ideas & artistry to the world. I really enjoyed spending some time in the afternoon walking around & admiring some of the art. It was definitely a good way to kill time & spend time indoors away from the heat/cold.

I've been here twice- most recently because I was able to get a free ticket through the Denver…read morepublic library, and previously to attend a wine and Halloween candy pairing party. If you get a chance to attend their events, they are really fun and worth the price of admission. I also really enjoy their ever rotating art collection. They have some really great local and minority artists, but what really tugged on my heart this time was the exhibit of teen artists. Absolutely adore seeing kids express themselves through art, and their statements about their art were truly eloquent. Parking downtown sucks, as usual, but if you come on a Sunday you might be able to find a metered spot for free. I'm sure I'll be back, most likely for an event! I know I'll be recommending their teen program to some of my more artistic students.

So much fun exploring and learning about Earth, the solar system, nature, and history! The…read morePlanetarium is a wonderful experience. 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!

Educational and interactive!…read more There's a large parking lot and an underground parking garage so plenty of spaces. 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.

Fantastic garden! You'll get lost in the massive amount of gardens they have. Everywhere you look…read morethere are dozens of gorgeous and diverse plants. With over 50 gardens you'll want to grab a map to help you navigate. You might plan on spending the full day here! My favorites were the dahlias and the sculptures that were sprinkled throughout the gardens. Everything was so well curated and just beautiful. There is a complimentary 3 level parking garage. Fantastic gift shop - make sure you walk around on your way out!

I went to see the beautiful, colorful, psychedelic chapel, but had a lot more fun than expected!…read more As expected, the staff is super laid back and helpful. Tickets are 25 bucks. The light show is timed throughout the day and I arrived like 45 minutes early, so I had plenty of time to explore their "downstairs area." Tons of free arcade games. I played Pac-Man and whatever game it is where you shoot aliens. There is also a car racing game. There is an old school basketball game hooked up to an old TV. They have a large projector screen hooked up to a Nintendo switch with Mario and Zelda games. I actually really enjoyed coloring in the many coloring books they had. They have retro, funky furniture, fun decorations, and merch for sale. The light show itself is a fun time! No videography or photography during, but they do a basic show at the end so people can take photos and videos. You can lay on the floor or back in a pew on one of the many fluffy stuffed pillows and watch and meditate. They have great stoner music too (think Pink Floyd). And of course, the chapel itself is beautiful. No partaking in cannabis while in the building. They keep it family friendly (there were toddlers there when I went, but they were well behaved). They have multi-denominational church services a couple times a month where people can use cannabis. There is a lot of nearby street parking, as it's kinda in a residential area, though I took a Lyft. Also a mile or less walk to some of the main food and bar sites on Broadway.

The individuals who run it call themselves Elevationist who believe in community regardless of your religious beliefs. They treat each other with respect. Not to mention they have a pretty wicked light show they host everyday inside the church. Even if you're not a connoisseur you can still take a tour of the place and experience the light show. If you wanna be a member of the church, they make it easy to sign up. Definitely recommend to check it out at least once.

Today 6/14/26 was a free day ( my luck) so I bought a gift for the grands since they couldn't attend (sic). Inside and outside were fun creative activities for kids to partake. Music inside was part of the paintings. A DJ on the lawn to reach other senses. 7/26/26 is the next free day - GO! I was delighted to peruse this museum and change my previous plans.

Denver is one of my favorite cities and this museum definitely is a key factor. There are not that…read moremany museums dedicated to a single artists (Andy Warhol Museum is another one I visited) but they truely give you a unique experience!! Designed specifically to display Clyfford Still's work, this "small" museum (as many of my museum colleagues would call it) is actually quite large - enough for a few hours of wondering... The building itself is a beautiful and perfectly complements the art collection's scale, themes, and colors. I was told it has over 3000 pieces (over 90%) of the artist's works; and he believed the best way to experience an artist's work was by seeing it all in one place. It was indeed a great experience to be submerged in such an environment -- you feel so much more who he was and what he wanted to express. Must give this "small" museum a BIG applause! Everything was nicely done and it was a great pleasure to visit. AND, their website (https://clyffordstillmuseum.org/) is absolutely amazing! I've seen many museums' websites and theirs is the first one where I saw "Accessibility Adjustments" tool (look for the small person in a circle at the lower left corner) that helps people with different challenges. Bravo!! P.S. This review is from a draft I did in 2024, so quite late in publishing. I lost the photos I took so the following photos are from their websites.

Is this a must see when visiting Denver? No. But it was fun. You almost don't realize you're in…read morethe right place until you ask, because the initial entry is a store front (cool stickers, jewelry, queer merch etc). But then you enter the art portion. The indoor portion is mostly music and lights. It's actually really well done. You can push different buttons and witness different light and music themes. I was surprised at how diverse the music was and how many musical choices you could choose. The outdoor version changes over time, but this time I was tracking nine fairies or nymphs, or like creatures, that encouraged harmony and love of nature. I scanned all nine spots and got a free little gift at the end. It's a cool, funky little space. Lots of nooks and crannies. A big papasan swing. Alien like animal sculptures. Plants everywhere. I can't remember what I paid, but it was nominal, and worth the little detour here. It's on Broadway, which parts of Broadway are lively and packed, but this one was a little more dead and vacant. The staff is super nice. The prices in the shop are reasonable for work by independent artists.

The issue mainly had to do with the air conditioning (or lack thereof). It made me personally want to speed through it after a certain point - toward the end there were rooms where I felt like I rushed out of just to get to the end (the gift shop.) Although I did not purchase anything, I did appreciate the variety of items that were being sold - and the prices didn't break the bank. For the ticket pricing, I did expect there to be more but I'm not entirely sure if it was just the lack of air conditioning that made the experience less than ideal.

Parts of the exhibit are really cool - like the letters room and the about room. The rest is a meh with the sunflower room being downright terrible!! Didn't expect to see so many pieces of art digitized and floating across large draped fabrics, and it was pretty neat to see them but also the colors were very muted/dull because of the projector and fabric setup.
