KelliOctober 14, 2012They have several free days a year so check the calendar! It is. Really busy these days but hey it's free!
DAVID RODRIGUEZJuly 26, 2013A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT BEST PLACE TO BRING YOUNG KIDS THEY WILL ENJOY IT
Very nice museum with a wide selection of exhibits.
HeatherAugust 18, 2012Don't take your little kids if they're under the age of 5 or 6. You won't get to enjoy anything, they won't understand anything, and they'll get in everyone else's way
Sherry ParrishAugust 8, 2014The Rubys and jems were my favorite place just becouse they are so color full
The Discovery Zone on the 2nd floor is a must for anyone with young kids.
James KlingensmithFebruary 11, 2012You can bring your own lunch and store it in a locker until your ready to eat it
Nic TinworthSeptember 1, 2010One of the best museums I've ever been to. You can tell a lot of thought, care and attention goes into their exhibits!
Plan to come early and spend the day here. There is a lot to see.
Lori KoberDecember 1, 2014The 1st and 3rd levels are the best. Got lucky... Today is free day (Dec 1st)
Melissa Lanier HarrisSeptember 7, 2014Kids discovery zone is awesome! And the planetarium, of course...
Ian CallahanApril 13, 2018Good time. Dead Sea Scrolls was very busy and slow - even for a Wednesday.
Abigail RodgersJune 18, 2013Look around for all of the Leprechauns within the whole building. There are 9 hidden all over.
ColoradoAugust 24, 2010Among the museum's impressive display of gems and minerals is a six-foot wall of blood-red rhodochrosite crystals.
Tiffany WilsonAugust 11, 2014The gnome hunt in all the painted back grounds is a fun new way to view the exhibits
James KongMarch 14, 2012Always something to see at the museum. Hmm tempted to camp overnight one of these days. Looking at Dinosaurs never get old.
JohnMarch 25, 2016I dig science/nature museums, but wasn't overly impressed with this one. Most interesting section was minerals/mining, but the rest was ok
Paul WagerSeptember 22, 2012Get a membership. It saves you money and you get special pricing on exhibits.
aram papazianFebruary 26, 2013It might take you 2 days to accomplish the whole thing... The planetarium isn't worth it; they don't show any stars...
