Lots of good history and also other treasures and stories from American Hero's! I love that many of the volunteers are retired men and women that have served in the military and will recount stories from their days in the forces. This museum does have several "free" ticket days every yr. Cool fact, fun stuff for kids to do too, like ride in a little plane with wheels around in the hanger! Something for everyone at this museum.

I was here for a corporate training so a different experience…read more The staff are welcoming and were helpful in directing me where I needed to go. When we had breaks I came downstairs to the main level for the restroom. Our choices were the larger restrooms at the end of the building or the two gender neutral toward the entrance. While we were in our training, many folks with small children came through as well as school groups. As the day went on those two restrooms by the entrance went downhill. I understand this is more an issue of the general public than the staff. I did not spend time in the museum itself as this was a long day of training. I do recommend if you have interest in flight history. This is a nice museum.

We just moved to the area and were looking for something to do. I found out Denver has many free…read moreevents. So, this is the first one we attended. I brought my 16, 5, 2 and NB. They greeted us immediately and gave us a map of the property. We had fun walking around and checking out the animals and historic buildings on site. It is wild this place is right in the middle of a neighborhood. The only issue we had was parking because we the lot is full you're out of options.

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.

I liked the integration of moving shapes along with animal, Prince and clubbing caricatures. Very family friendly. The show run time was 50 min. The only downside was the seating. Try and sit as much to the back of the auditorium if at all possible. We ended up front and had to strain our neck to view the entire wall

Even though this was a small building, the space was well utilized and the exhibits were very well organized. Anybody that enjoys both art and history will enjoy this place.

I wholeheartedly concur with Ilona F.'s review of the "Gathering Sparks" exhibit. The artwork and…read morethe artifacts are super cool and the exhibit was thoroughly informative about Jewish history, daily life, and yearly celebrations. I particularly enjoyed the portion about the Jewish migration to Colorado and the Jewish-owned businesses established way back then that are still around today. In addition to the viewing the exhibit, we celebrated World Kugel Day out in the museum's yard. If you've never had kugel (we hadn't), it's a sort of noodle casserole that can be savory or sweet. We sampled most all of the varieties entered into the kugel tasting contest. One of the kugel bakers was none other than Daniel Asher, Executive Chef of Linger and Root Down Restaurants. I was excited to try his Thai Coconut Curry Kugel with Roasted Peach-Sriracha Jam. It was quite tasty, but not my favorite. I liked the winning kugel better: Artichoke & Brie Kugel created by Debbie Foster. We also enjoyed some free frozen yogurt and sorbet from Menchie's, watched some artists paint, and heard some live music courtesy of Rocky Mountain Jewgrass. The Mizel Museum is an unexpected and delightful part of a quiet residential neighborhood. I'm pleased that it's within walking distance of my home. I hope you'll plan to drop by sometime and learn something new.

At first, I thought "wow this place is small!" because it's basically one single open space with…read morevarious shopfronts sets. But then I realized the beauty of that is as a parent, I can sit and supervise without constantly chasing my child around. The place is clean and brightly lit, with lots of fun pretend play options for kiddos. Play sessions are $18.50 for 1.5 hours which goes by fast. Kids can choose a snack or juice box on the way out though which makes the transition easier. They also have a lot of craft activities (slime, beads, etc) that can be added on for an extra fee. My only note of feedback would be announcing 5 min in advance of the play session ending. When the employee announced that play time was over at the end of the session, I think it caught some of the kids off guard and a few started crying because they weren't quite ready to leave.

Clean and fun! Easy to monitor from anywhere in the space since it's all one big room.read more

They have over 25 scenes, and they are all so fun. Even my kids loved taking pics in all of the props and scenes. This place is great for the whole family or a fun group of friends. I loved the Colorado specific scenes like Larimer Street. I also loved the swings and bathtub. Definitely bring a charged phone to enjoy this place. They have tripods and selfie sticks you can use. We laughed so hard as we moved from scene to scene. Check this place out ASAP!

We came for the return of Camp Christmas as it is one of our favorite holiday traditions. There was a couple of fun installations to view as well as the walk through experience. We had fun but were a little disappointed this year as everything felt on much smaller scale than usual. More of a sprinkle of Christmas fun rather than the usual Christmas extravaganza we've come to know and love from Camp Christmas. Still fun but a bit underwhelming. We were also disappointed to see some of our favorites from years past missing like the scavenger hunt and music playlists for different times of day. Also a bit disappointed that they are charging the same price for adults and children in the walk through experience. Hope that next year Camp Christmas will be back in full form.
