While visiting the area we decided on the History Colorado Center mainly because the museum was…read moreclosed and I am glad we did. I have been to Colorado a handful of times but I did not know much about the history of the state. The Center is a great place to get the background you need. There are 4 floors of artifacts,exhibits, artwork, and displays. My favorite exhibit was ZOOM IN: 100 objects that represent the state. There is a cafe for onsite dining and a gift shop as well.

We finally made it in on the last weekend of the 90s exhibit. As a 90s baby, it brought me back to…read morea time of my childhood I don't have much memories of cause I was in fact a Y2K child but it was still crazy to see a similar office desk setup of my childhood in a museum. Signs of being "old". The exhibit was so thought out taking you through major historical events but also plenty of Colorado history intertwined as well. While Colorado is a great state to live in, it definitely has a dark history and I think it's important to take time to learn about the past and how this state was established on blood and tears. The exhibits are interesting because it'll go from one to another. Also appreciate the mini Little Saigon exhibit. Overall, it's a nice way to pass time and get your steps in. It's pretty affordable too at $15. It is located in downtown which can be a bummer cause parking can be difficult.

I'm sure others have commented this, but this plan is only open Friday and Saturday until 2pm, so…read moreplan your visit accordingly! I flew into Denver Saturday morning and this was the first stop that I made. I didn't make a reservation as the last time I had checked they were not fully booked, and I also wasn't sure about any flight delays. Admission is $17 for adults. The staff working were incredibly knowledgeable and the history of the museum and it was a joy to listen to them and read more at the different exhibits. When my friend and I went, we were the only two there. I truly feel like this is a hidden gem to go and learn more about history. My friend has lived in Denver her entire life and she learned a lot!

Worth a visit!…read more Interested in learning more about Black Americans and there journey west, post civil war? This is the place for you. I was visiting Denver and really glad I made this my last stop on my trip. Located in a historical home turned museum. Created by Paul Stewart who had a passion for collecting artifacts, photos & researching at libraries about the people that lived in this area. Such as Five Points a thriving Black community. Topics include, Black cowboys, that were vital to the area, Buffalo Soliders, Dr. Justina Ford and several other medical professionals that provided community health to those in need because they were unable to seek care at white establishments. The day I visited, I was greeted by Daphne, with a beautiful smile, and she gave some insight about the museum. She offered hand outs as well. Cost is $15 dollars entrance. And that's a steal to learn more about American history, not just Black history. It's a small place, but packs a lot of knowledge & history in a small space. You can really take your time and ask questions after if you like. Max it will take a 45 minutes to an hour to enjoy the museum, I did it in 30 minutes. You can go online to specify a time of your visit. I wasn't able to pay online, but Daphne ensures they are working on that. There's even book nook for purchases if so inclined.

As a Denver local, I've been wanting to check this museum off my list for almost a decade. Today I…read morefinally made it, and all I can say is... WOW! Definitely of the best museums we have here in the city- and it's very affordable at $13/pp. This is one of the most exceptional displays and collections on transportation history I've ever seen. If you tend to take your time through museums, I would budget at least 2.5 hours for this one. They probably have over 100 different vehicles, not including bikes, trains, planes, etc.. Note: I would not recommend this space for children, however. This will be my new spot to take out of town guests!

It's a huge museum with a wide but random collection of vehicles of a variety of types, from cars…read moreto motorcycles to trains to more. The price is reasonable. I'm sure people with particular passions would find some portions exciting. But for me, a random person with a random kid, it's just ok. There's a level of technical detail about many items in the collection but little story or context. For example, there's a diagram that shows the literally hundreds of parts of a steam engine but nothing that explains at like kid level how it works. And what do the giant cars of the 1960s, as a trend, say about America at that time? I have no idea. I get that they don't want people touching the collection, but the signs and volunteers around feel oppressive at times. Some things like the train passenger cars even appear set up for people to be able to go in, but I've never seen them open across multiple visits. The streetcar has an unattached, standalone lever in front, going into the roped off path -- which seems like SURELY it's there to give kids SOMETHING interactive -- but it also has a "don't touch" sign, which is almost comical, like a flashing red button that just says "don't press this button."

It's free and you get a free bag of shredded money in the amount of $165, which makes a great souvenir. Take note of their hours: only open on weekdays from 9:30am - 4:00pm. This was our last stop in Denver and it didn't take more than 15 minutes. This is a great alternative to the US Mint. We were not able to get the free tickets to the US Mint, since we were in town during Christmas break and by the time we arrived all the tickets were gone :( The Money Museum is simple and quick. There's no souvenir shop here, but like I said, you get a cool free bag of shredded money :) It's only a slight detour away from 16th Street Mall, plus there's a free 16th Street Mall bus shuttle, so it's super convenient and accessible. Have fun!

What's best is that you can easily access this mall via the free 16th Street Mall bus. Enjoy~

The guide walked us through the small museum and turned on an electric washing machine that was built in 1903. (Why can't my appliances last that long?)

It only takes about 20 minutes to walk through, but it was super interesting!
