This is a beautiful old building and they offer free tours which I highly recommend. Our tour…read moreguide was excellent. To date, we have toured seven different state capitol buildings around the country and have taken a tour in each of them. I would rank this tour very highly. There are a fair number of stairs and walking on the tour so if stairs, walking, or the elevation is a concern, use the elevator during your visit or on the tour. The building is worth visiting to see the marble alone. It is everywhere and it is gorgeous. One of the highlights of the tour was going to the top of the building. There are many, many stairs to take (90? 99? I cannot recall) to get there so keep that in mind. But if you reach the top, you will be rewarded with amazing 360 degree views in all directions. Well worth a visit!

I came for the views, stayed for the craft beer, and left wondering how so many people can own both a yoga mat and a fancy hiking backpack but still look slightly confused about which one to use. The weather? Oh, it's like a box of chocolates -- you never know if you'll get sun, snow, or a surprise wind tunnel all in one afternoon. Pro tip: always carry sunglasses, sunscreen, and a snow shovel. Just in case. Food scene? It's a foodie's dream. From green chili that could wake the dead to vegan tacos that taste like a party in your mouth, Denver's got it all. Just don't ask a local where to park--they'll give you the most scenic 20-minute walk you've ever had. Public transit is... let's say "quirky." The buses and light rails run on their own schedule, which seems based on planetary alignment rather than any earthly timetable. But hey, it gives you time to appreciate the city's art and that friendly Denver smile (or is that just from the altitude?). Overall, Denver is a city that wears its quirks proudly. It's outdoorsy but laid-back, trendy but unpretentious, and has enough craft breweries to keep you busy for a lifetime. Just remember to pace yourself -- the altitude hits different. Five stars for the vibes, three stars for my confused legs.

Wonderful city and people in it! However, homelessness is…read moreabundant. Homeless folks everywhere and are smelly and dirty. City is trying pretty hard to solve the problem but nobody knows how. They're throwing various things at the wall to see what sticks at the taxpayer's expense and actual results are weak. They're still everywhere. Don't get me wrong, homelessness is generally not a chosen "lifestyle" and a lot of it is not a simple drugs/alcohol/mental health problem but an economic problem instead. Taxpayers foot the bill for drugs/alcohol/mental health rehabilitation programs (which is definitely needed) but in turn hard working people are taxed to the max and are priced out of their homes/apartments and become homeless themselves, then turn to City/County/State for help and use taxpayers money to get subsidies, which in turn raises taxes on the next group of taxpayers, and so on and so forth...

The staff were all nice and the presentation was delivered professionally. It just felt forced; like the Mint was begrudgingly doing something it didn't want to do. Sign up for the tour online was easy. Unfortunately, my first reservation was canceled by the Mint. I made a second reservation and found their directions easy to follow. Sadly, everyone for the tour was there on time, but the group waited past the time the tour was supposed to begin. There is a simple security process and then more waiting. A short video was moderately informative and the tour finally began. Then, like a trip to Willy Wonka's factory, the tour was done and you were standing outside the building. It was disappointingly short and no actual creation of coinage was actually seen. Kind of a letdown.

I was supposed to go with a friend who had a family emergency and they were very nice to refund her ticket. You take the elevator up to check in, but the rest of the floors have stairs, so you need to be able to navigate stairs that are sometimes steep and narrow, You can step outside on some of the floors and there are great views of Denver. You can also read about the history and it's cool to see the clock from behind. I went through it relatively quickly, but you can take as much little time as you want.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere inside the Clocktower felt very…read moreold-time and historical. Walking through the building really gives you a sense of Denver's past. Downstairs, there are informational displays with interesting facts about the clock, and it was cool learning that this building is Denver's first skyscraper. The self-guided setup made it easy to explore at your own pace without feeling rushed. What You Can See: The Clocktower has about three floors you can explore, plus an event space that can be rented for special occasions. It was really neat getting to go inside and see the clock up close. One of the highlights was the outdoor viewing area. You can step outside and see Denver all around you nearby buildings and even the mountain tops in the distance. The views were beautiful. I am scared of heights, so I'll admit the stairs made me a little nervous going up and down. That said, everything felt very safe. Outside, there are high railings all the way around, which helped a lot and made the experience feel secure. Time Commitment: This is a quick activity, but still enjoyable. I took my time looking at everything and it took me about 15-20 minutestotal. Pricing Tickets were $12 total (tax included), which felt very reasonable for a unique downtown experience and a chance to see the city from a different perspective. Parking: I went on a Sunday, so I didn't have to pay for street parking. I highly recommend going on a Sunday if possible. That said, downtown can be busy, so it did take a bit to find a spot. Arriving early definitely helps. Overall Experience: Ireally enjoyed the Clocktower Tour. While it's more of a one-time experience, it's perfect for a cold day, a short outing downtown, or if you're just looking for something different to do without committing a lot of time. It was fun, affordable, and a neat way to experience a piece of Denver's history.

They tell you a couple of times, but the house is HOT in the summer. The house is over 100 years old and doesn't have AC and they don't open the windows. Keep this in mind when purchasing tickets. Also because this house is over 100 years old it isn't very accessible. Doorways are narrow and the stairs are steep. With all that being said Margaret "Molly" Brown's house was beautiful. Her story is even better. If you don't know who she was outside of being a Titanic survivor then you're missing out on a lot of history. This museum deserves a spot on your itinerary.

The people working there were also very nice, but the interior didn't live up to the exterior. Rather than being an interesting house with the appropriate decor, it was more than anything a somewhat disheveled temple to the sufferance movement and Molly Brown's not unimportant part in it. The walls and even the furniture were covered with posters, boxes, and non-contemporaneous objects concerning her works. It was not what we had been expecting, as we'd thought it would be more of house displaying the arts, furnishings and overall elegance of the time.
