Suggestions for History Museum near Lakewood

Amber H. • December 12, 2010Talk to Anna; she's full of interesting local knowledge and super nice. They also have some great retro toys and novelties in the gift shop.

Jacob B. • November 19, 2014Very good interactive exhibits, and definitely kid-friendly

Scott Kleinberg • July 4, 2013What a gem! For $5 you can see the best collection of baseball memorabilia outside of Cooperstown and help a worthy non-profit. The owner, Bruce, really cares about the game and preserving its history

Gail W. • June 5This was one the Highlights to our Trip. The displays, pictures and information were WONDERFUL. We loved it and I am so happy I had the opportunity to see the Black American West Museum.

Jeannie • March 5, 2012If you're looking for a behind the scenes look at the history of Denver, this is the place to go!

Kate J. • October 9, 2015Wonderful variety of exhibits. Interactive and static exhibits entertain all ages. Well worth price of admission. I had a blast. They also have a café!

Dana K. • December 28, 2013This is the only museum in Colorado that is associated with the Smithsonian Institute. It's also free! One of my absolute favorite places.

jeff p. • October 30, 2013Amazing views of the surrounding area. Best place to take in the view from the top of Lookout Mtn.

Claire L. • August 5, 2017Always a blast to go through. If you have younger kids or just a short attention span skip the ocean area and keep walking till you reach the Cretaceous Creekbed.

Tom K. • September 28, 2016Wonderful museum with an extensive collection of trains and railroad stuff, a large garden model layout, well stocked museum store and picnic tables! Spend a morning or an afternoon here!

Corinne B. • May 1, 2018We had a blast here! The staff is amazing, and the tour doesn’t take long, so it’s great even for little ones

Gailanne • September 13, 2014Great collection of all things transportation related. I especially liked the railroad collection. Big Boy is a must see :-)

Neal W. • December 2, 2017Excellent selection of aircraft to see and learn about. Some you can't find anywhere else. Good staff who are happy to show you around.

Claire L. • August 5, 2017This is a great exhibit. However if you have a younger kid this probably isn't the exhibit for you. Take them to the Discovery Zone, Space Odyssey, or Prehistoric Journey which cater to kids.

Fairfield Inn & Suites Denver Aurora/Parker Hotel • October 22, 2013Great local museum

Erik M. • June 8, 2012It's $1 a person. Small but cute. Fun for little ones. Free under 4 yrs old.
