We watched the two movies which were fun, though the T-Rex one was a bit violent for young kids...and did the aquarium - that freaked my 4 year old out at the end, but he was okay and it was fun. The only letdown was the actually museum, it was kinda lame. Should have made it more kid friendly and fun. It was a bit boring. Need skeleton models and more excitement. The cafe and gift shop were great! Good food, good merchandise.

It's so unique with all their little tiny houses and the animals. Each house has a theme like the teddy bear house, the old lady in the boot, mother goose, grandma's house, and so many more. The gentleman who owns it is very kind. The admission is free, but they appreciate a $5 donation per person. My son was allowed to pet and feed all the animals, and he got to hold a bunny. He was in heaven!! We will go back here for sure, especially for the pumpkin patch and for Christmas.

We enjoyed the hay rack ride, which was my fiancee's first ever. We loaded up with all of the other kids and parents and did a tour (or a lap) around the pumpkins. We then were dropped off where we started and set off with a wagon to get the perfect pumpkin. We had a great time. The weather was wonderful. The only disappointment I had was that they did not have food or anything to purchase other than pumpkins. I was thinking caramel corn, caramel covered apples, some sweets, nothing available. Being their first year, I'm sure they will figure it out for next year.

For only $6, you can see a huge amount of artifacts and history collected into one place. They recently redid the building, so it's very new and clean inside. There's a nice winding path that takes you all through the Ute Story, from the creation and Bear Dance, to interaction with other tribes, and the eventual coming of the white man and their put into reservations. It's very touching and somber, but enlightening as well. The Utes roamed, loved, hunted and camped nearly all the Rocky Mountains we play in now. Do yourself a favor and see the history that was here before many of us came, and still lives on to this day!

Visited the Auto Museum in Gateway, Colorado and boy am I glad we did. If your a car enthusiast,…read morethis museum is a must see. The collection of automobiles they have is very impressive. They had assorted cars dating back to the Model T all the way up to the modern day muscle cars. The museum is nestled in a gorgeous Unaweep canyon. The drive through the canyon is as enjoyable as the car museum. Beautiful bluffs and rock formations on all sides of your trip through the canyon. The museum area also offers a small cafe that has food items for sale, so you can get a quick lunch. Such a wonderful and beautiful place.

It turns out they named the town Hotchkiss because everyone who used to live here was named Hotchkiss. The volunteers are extremely friendly and outgoing. There are some displays that you are allowed to touch, but no real interactive stuff, which I know my kids would like. They had some Cheyenne Indian artifacts, which is a little odd, as I'm pretty sure they were never in the area. Admission is free and they have clean public restrooms.
