Children's Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus - Denver, Colorado

Great day with my daughter at this museum. We went around 11:00 am on a Sunday, which also had a Broncos game nearby. When you go to park, you let the attendant know you're here for the museum, and you drive all the way down the lot. The lot is used for sporting events too. Parking is free for museum. We got there early enough where finding a spot was not an issue.

This place is pretty amazing for toddlers. So much for kids to see and do. The outdoor area is pretty amazing too as it was decorated for Halloween so there were characters dressed up and carnival games. However my daughter was a bit too small to go in the really big park area.

We got 3 hours of real solid play before everyone is pretty tired. The timing of leaving was a bit rough as it was close to kickoff time and the streets were busy to get on 25. My only critique is that this place gets super busy and there are lots of unsupervised kids. Most are very polite and have good manners so overall a great time.

Fantastic! My 3 yr old and 15 month old had a blast. Bloom was prefect for the little, it also has private rooms for feeding or quiet time. The eldest enjoyed trying all the exhibits. It gets loud, for those with sensitive ears. Great place to let the kids explore.

We love visiting the children's museum, the year membership is definitely worth it. There is so much to look at and enjoy that one visit is not enough if you're a local. The first time around we looked at everything but since then we have mostly visited the "Bloom" area with our little one, the other areas are always filled with lots of big kids and even though my baby loves bubbles or playing with water the baby area is the safest. It's well monitored only 3 and under unless the big kids have a little sibling. They have a baby room in the back that has mom privacy areas and their own changing table and sink back there, it's awesome! The outdoor area in the back is really fun too, lots of things to do as well as picnic areas and a little sand beach. Bathrooms are always clean, they have a cafe and a gift shop. They also offer classes and story time some days. Free parking is available as well as a fun park in the front with lots to do before you even go inside. They truly think of the kids and I love that.

The only time we have ever been a bit disappointed has been when one day we tried to come in for a bit before they closed, we had a little more than an hour but because we had to wait for some non-members to go through the whole process, we ended up having 45 min left- that's how long it took since it was a big family. I would suggest to have a faster process for members especially if someone is tied up.

The new Bloom exhibit for Little ones (babies and toddlers) is absolutely amazing!!! It's Like you've walked into a fantasy world just like Alice in Wonderland! Absolutely worth seeing just for this alone, but of course the pretend ice rink and sledding outside in Joy Garden is so much fun!

Hands down, best children's museum we've ever been to. I brought kids ages 5-9, and I saw many kids up through 12 having a great experience. I really appreciate that the activities weren't overly safe -- they were climbing on furniture, using hammers and saws, and racing up a high tower. Obviously there were also areas appropriate for babies and toddlers. A highlight was an area where you could make a rocket and then shoot it towards the planets. We spent 3 hours and didn't even get to try everything inside and didn't even make it outside. My only advice is to plan for crowds and allot for more time than you think you'll need. There is a large lot shared with the aquarium next door.

The museum is a great place for young children. It has many areas to play and interact. It also has outdoor spaces in summer and winter. It has free parking.

Amazing children’s museum! The baby room (bloom) is so well appointed. There are nursing areas, a changing table, bottle warmers, and a sink. The whole room is full of art, activities, toys, and books! The room is well monitored, one family with older siblings was being a bit rowdy for a baby/toddler space and the room monitor was on it, she kindly but firmly reminded them to be safe around the small babies. I appreciate the commitment to protecting the space.
Wish we could go all the time, we came twice during our recent trip to Denver!
FYI, you can only use the city pass once per location.

Our visit to Children's Museum of Denver was an absolute blast! The museum offers a perfect blend of learning and play that kept my kids entertained for hours. From the moment we entered, we were greeted by vibrant, well-designed exhibits that invited hands-on exploration. There was something for every age group, making it easy for my children to jump in and start discovering.

One of the standout features was the building station. My kids were particularly drawn to being able to create their own works of art out of egg carton and wood blocks. The bubble station was also a favorite! It was definitely a multi-sensory activity that kept the kids engaged and excited!

Every corner encouraged curiosity and offered opportunities for kids to engage with the material. It’s clear the museum is designed with children in mind, with plenty of space to move around and explore safely.

We left with smiles on our faces and a new membership. We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended for families looking for a fun and educational outing.
