    I'm a Meow Wolf enthusiast. After multiple visits to the OmegaMart in Las Vegas, Convergence Station in Denver is my second Meow Wolf experience! I really enjoyed the theme of a sci-fi train station that serves as a common transit stop across multiple universes, and memories are used as currency in this world. Once we take the elevator up to the location, we entered into a city. It was very cyberpunk, and I didn't know where to start looking with all the storefronts, vehicles, and the movie theater. At one point, I did go into the movie theater to rest and watch the films. There's a lot of little Omegamart Easter eggs, like the store products! The music room with all the instruments and the circular light hanging from the ceiling playing music was very trippy. The giant enchanted forest was so cool and dreamy. I took a bunch of photos and videos there, and enjoyed standing in the temple and absorbing the sights and sounds. The stained glass cathedral was my favorite room. It was absolutely magical and awe-inspiring. The staff were absolutely amazing and friendly. I upgraded my ticket for a supremium membership at Meow Wolf, which means I get free entry anytime for the next year at all 5 Meow Wolf locations, and any guest I bring with me gets 20% off their ticket.

    This is one of the coolest interactive experiences I've ever had! My husband planned an epic surprise birthday trip for me in Denver. This is definitely at the top of my list. We spent a good 2 hours here, walking around, enjoying the art exhibits, trippy decor, awesome performances. I have two big tips for those who plan on visiting; buy your tickets ahead of time online AND be prepared to pay for parking in addition to admission. There's a parking lot out front, it cost $15 for the entire day. I know there are other meow wolfs in different cities, now I want to visit them all!

    Cool space to check out with friends! There are so many different rooms, things to look at and places to explore in this expansive museum. Every direction you look is something new to see! The whole place took my friends and I about 2 hours to explore. Tickets were about $50/person and parking was $15 in the lot across the street. They have a small cafe and gift shop where you can purchase drinks. Inside the immersive museum there is also a spot where you can try out themed drinks as well! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in guiding us upon entry and when we purchased our tickets.

    Bright and colorful rooms!

    We came here on a recent trip to Denver and had a blast! All of the employees we ran into were very nice and helpful! This place really transports you to a whole different world! There is so much to see and it constantly has you questioning your reality and why in the world anyone would even come up with such a place! It's easy to get turned around! I normally post lots of pictures but honestly, do yourself a favor and don't look up anything! I didn't and it was SO much more fun that way!! There is a bar and area where you can do snacks. The bar area had its own floor and looked really cool! I wish we would have done that! The snacks are down on the first floor! Overall we spent about 3 hours here exploring. If you go fast you could probably do it in about 90 mins but honestly you should go slow and enjoy every weird detail!

    Incredible interactive space that is so overwhelming for the senses you almost don't know where to look and which way to turn next. I enjoyed it thoroughly but was told upon entering it's just a big circle, which it definitely isn't. A map would have been nice but when I tried to download the app I had to create an account first which I definitely did not need so I skipped it. I'm sure, after being there an hour, that we missed some spaces but were in such sensory overload we didn't care. You get what you pay for. And the gift shop has some pretty neat things, too--don't miss that.

    Step into an entirely new dimension with enough storylines to keep you busy for an entire day. Meow Wolf created something truly unique here, with each room having art exhibits, interactive elements and moments of "what the heck am I looking at?" This was the first Meow Wolf location I visited, but it inspired me to visit more and I also loved the Las Vegas Omega Mart location. You don't have to be super artsy to enjoy, just go in with the desire to open doors, read signs and explore areas that you probably think you wouldn't be able to access.

    I've been here 3 times and I still haven't seen everything there is to see. There is so much to explore and it is amazing! Every detail is considered and it is so immersive. I would go back 100 more times!

    Meow was indeed a unique yet confusing expereince. We visited over the holidays, my daughter wanted to see what the fuss was all about. I didnt know what to expect. She paid online, you cant pay in person. From the arrival to the leaving its was giving some witchy vibes, play time, mystical and alot of stimuation that hits you quickly. We walked in all these different rooms sober of course and we still thought it was way to much going on. Im assuming people wander thru this for as a group to fill a sense of high. If you go just be aware and do some research so your not suprised of all the weirdnes.There where a few nice art pieces, spots to sit and gather yourself. You will need it, Lol! Even my 30yr old daughter said it was a one and done kinda place.

    Those who know me know that it's on my bucket list to visit every single Meow Wolf location current and future. Since they started in New Mexico this art group has stolen my heart with all their amazing abstract art. It's almost endless the possibilities with a multiverse and I would love to see watch universe. That being said when I found myself in Denver, you know I had to check this one out. Let's start with the parking situation. There's no free parking. The parking is $15 per vehicle. A bit steep unfortunately there isn't access to alternative parking. It's located right next to the Broncos stadium between the highway ramps. Unless you wanna walk awhile you're better off coughing up the 15 bucks. I didn't realize it was one of their adult nights the day I had gone. The price for admission was $60. It is already paid for parking by the time I was at the box office so I shelled it out. They have 2 restaurants. One is more of a snack bar located on the first floor. The second flood has kind of a speakeasy vibe. Fair warning if you're not a fan of climbing stairs you may not enjoy the experience because there are several floors. They only allow the elevators to go down. Overall it was great to finally experience the Convergence station. Of course you know I have to go back especially after I discovered there were some spots I missed. Other than the parking situation and exuberant pricing it was still a good time!

    Everything! It started a few years back when my brother told me about MegaMart in Vegas. I was doing a two month crop country road trip and was in Texas and heard about meow Wolf in Grapevine, which I went and was amazed. Since then I took my 91-year-old dad to.MegaMart. He enjoyed it. I'm currently on a road trip and I did the meow Wolf in Santa Fe Springs. Having done the Meow Wolf in Denver, I'm so looking forward to the opening in Los Angeles. Each experience is different, but I truly enjoyed the unusual amusing incredible fantasy of the Meow Wolf Denver. When I try to tell people what Meow Wolf is, it's impossible to describe except for fantasies in the artist's mind. You can literally spend many hours enjoying. Great for photography as well.

    I've always wanted to visit a Meow Wolf and I was so excited when a work trip to Denver came up! It was easy enough to get here by Uber. Cost at the door was about $43 pre tax for the standard ticket day-of. I arrived about 7:40PM on a Monday night and was able to get a ticket. You start by going up unto an elevator that takes you to the 4th floor (you can explore the 5th & 3rd). There's really no set path and you can wander -- everything connects and the point is to wander. I didn't realize until afterwards that you could buy the "boop" cards that unlock the story points. Since it was my first time and it was late at night during a work trip I just wanted to explore and wander. I spent about an hour and a half here just admiring all the artwork. This place is really, really cool. So large and immersive. Otherworldly. Loved the fairy type world in the middle and the rainbow ice castle most. There are so many fun interactive elements -- in one room you crawl on your knees and stick your head throw a hole to watch animatronic cows. There are lots of photo ops and crawl throughs and interactive moments. It's really fun and sparks your imagination and your childlike sense of wonder. I came late at night on a weeknight so there were other people but it wasn't too crowded. I could see how it might take longer and not be as calm and fun if you visited at peak times. This is super cool and I'm glad I made it my "one extracurricular" on my work trip.

    Meow Wolf Denver's Convergence Station is one of the most unique museum experiences I've been to. It's a massive, immersive space where four surreal worlds collide, with hidden passages, interactive elements, and tons of detail everywhere you look. I loved solving the quests as I explored. It made the whole experience feel like a game. So much fun overall and easily one of the best museums I've visited.

    I've now been to 4 different MeowWolf locations. Las Vegas, Denver, Grapevine, and Houston. I have the Portal Pass which is totally worth it. Each location is completely different and immersive. Denver so far is my favorite. Hoping to go to Santa Fe next and the new location in Los Angeles when it opens. The staff is usually very friendly and helpful. It's a one of a kind experience and best to go with loved ones or friends. You'll have a blast, especially if you enjoy art, beauty, and science. It feels like stepping into another dimension. Get the portal pass! There's always something new to discover.

    I still can't tell what this place is. is it local artists? Is it like the rainforest cafe, where you just walk through a lot of plastic/plaster objects down streets that are painted? I just want a simple explanation. tia

    It is an audio dreamscape, a different artist that allows people to experience strange and unusual ideas

    Can I bring in a reusable water bottle?

    Yes, but it needs to be empty when you pass through security. You can then refill it once inside.

    How much time does it usually take to get through all of the exhibits?

    If you have the RFID qpass, I would budget 2 hours minimum.

    If I bring a bag that is more than 8x8, will they have a place for me to hold it? (I don't mind paying - not from here and I usually travel with a bag)

    Hey there! We do have a bag check for a nominal fee, learn more here: https://meowwolf.com/faq#denver

    Is there a cafe that serves wine?

    Yes! They have a small dining area close to where you walk in that has a small selection of food. They also serve wine, beer, and hard seltzer.

We loved the ambiance, feeling like we'd really discovered a gem off the beaten track, pun intended. By joining the club, it was a monthly excuse to plan a special night out to what became one of our favorite places for date night. It's been a couple of years now, but we had occassion to meet the owners, when we mistook their closing time for an hour later. The lights were still on, so we didn't realize our mistake, until they'd already invited us in to exchange our monthly growler with such warmth. Super nice people, reflecting the vibe we always felt on our other visits. The staff echoes that disposition, always friendly and knowledgeable. Though the winery isn't on-site, I've always been impressed with their tasting experience. I've now been a member for over 5 years, going in at least once a month, and they still suggest trying seasonal options and have broadened my palette... Though my ex and I have parted ways for a long while now and he moved away, he's kept our membership current, calling it my "alimony," and a nod to remembering the good times we had together. I recommend Bigsby's for all the good memories for all the folks, be it a lazy summer afternoon on the patio or a cozy evening in the lounge area with a glass of red when it's cold outside!

I came in right behind a table of four and while…read morethey were sat immediately, the staff member walked off and I stood there for at least another five minutes without being acknowledged. Then when he did acknowledge me and I stated I would sit at the bar, it took several minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me. The staff was busy speaking to each other and doing side work. Once I was acknowledged, things started getting a little better. When I arrived during breakfast/brunch, I was informed they were in the middle of a menu change, so my choices were limited. Breakfast items include bacon and burritos. I started off with a charcuterie board (though I had asked for a fromage board). This was not only because I wanted some tasty cheese, but I was trying to kill time until the lunch/dinner menu started. The board was a great board, two different meats, three cheeses, a loaf of bread, some nuts and jellies. But it was 40 dollars! I had a few small plates (which was still a lot of food). I had a melon and cucumber salad, which was a good palate cleanser. I also had the roasted king mushrooms, which were underwhelming with no seasoning, and they were a little chewy. The best thing was the wild boar meatballs, which were seasoned really well and in a savory, delicious marinara sauce. All the cocktails were fruity (but not sweet) and refreshing. I had one that was carrot based (Kiss my Carrot with tequila, cointreau, carrot, orange, and ginger), one that had pineapple flavor (paper boat with rum, falernum, aperol, lemon, pineapple), and the smoky smoke and flower (hibiscus mezcal, cointreau, pama, rose water). This spot is a winery, so they have a large wine list. They have handhelds like burgers and flatbreads. Starters like artichoke dip and bruschetta. Some of the current entrees, which might change, are hanger steak, chilean salmon, cauliflower steak. They had a gnocchi dish I was interested in, but it's already been removed from the menu. The restaurant is classy and just like a winery is expected to be. The food is pretty good. But the service was really subpar.

Everything is electronic, and your ball has a microchip in it, so it tracks your score. This was awesome for me, as sometimes it didn't record my strokes and gave me a slight advantage, although I still lost. There are screens that tell you what to do, and hazards or super tubes that if you have decent aim, can benefit you greatly. Our favorite was the pac man and Tetris themed holes. They also had a skeeball hole that was fun as well. This is great for a date night- I will be back for sure!

The second hand vape was as bad or worse than any second hand smoke I have experienced. I left with a headache, sore throat, and feeling poorly. The jam session was also disappointing. The house band played from 7 to 8:10, took a break, and then came back and played another song. It was 8:25 before anyone was invited to join. The jam was advertised to go to 9 so it wasn't much of a jam opportunity. Also, the they decided to squeeze the band into a little spot in the walkway that was in the middle of all the vaping. People walking by had to be careful not to bump the horn players, and the horn players had to move to avoid being hit by them as they were playing. This was unnecessary because they have a big room with chairs, guitars on the wall, etc available in the back of the place that appeared to be setup for the jam.

They can't/won't cut in half. Ok, whatever. I don't understand what the big deal is, they obviously posses knives... just cut them instead of saying "no". So stupid. 20ish Minutes after waiting, the person who took my order said it would be 30 minutes to make. Which was weird cause what was going on for the last 20 minutes? 30 minutes to wait is fine, if you don't waste the 20 mins prior resulting in about an hour wait. So, I declined as now we are talking an hour to get 20 simple breakfast burritos. I needed to get to work and I wasn't wanting to wait an entire hour and they just wasted 20 minutes of my time not prepping anything, so I decided not to go with the burritos. Someone came to refund my sale and then preceded to kind of scold me for not ordering in advance. He said something about for an order like 20 burritos they want 2 days heads up. GTF outta here. It's freaking burritos. You don't need 2 days to make 20 burritos. And here's the thing, I'm not here for a lecture because I attempted to give YOU business. And I won't be back, either. When you get a customer to purchase your goods, be happy. Provide them the goods. Make it as soon as you can. Don't say no for no reason. Don't make anyone feel bad for trying to give you business. It would have been SOOOOO simple to make the burritos and quick run the knife through them. But, no, the choice was to do nothing for almost a half hour, to refuse to run a knife through them as asked, and then lecture a customer for coming in to order 20 items. It's not like I asked for 100. What if 10 customers came in and each ordered 2? Can you do that? Do they get lectured, too, or...? See ya.

    3.5 Stars…read more After waiting nearly three months for Denver's hottest reservation, my group of four were underwhelmed by our dining experience. The Good: The food itself was lovely. Fantastic flavors. Beautiful plating. If basing our review on the food alone--five stars. The Bad: Despite having been in their space for months by now, the ambiance was not there. The staff kept turning on and off the food heat lamps, which were so bright that the light level in the entire space vacillated between dark and sultry to too brightly light all night. The temperature was absolutely arctic. Multiple groups had to ask for their coats from coat check before one of the waitstaff said he looked at the heating. He made adjustments, which did increase the temperature of the room from arctic to chilly--but it remained unacceptably cold. Pacing of courses was oddly timed. The waitstaff couldn't seem to strike a good balance between casual and fine dining--it was a little awkward at times. The Bad: Despite placing our wine flight orders twice, with two different waitstaff, they forgot to give us our drinks until we asked. By then, we'd missed two of the pairings. They did offer to serve us the remaining pairings at no cost, which was a nice gesture. But, it's wild that something like this happened in a place with 16 seats and 4 waitstaff--they missed out on $400 in alcohol sales because of this error. The meal was explained to our group as a "ten course" experience. We only received nine courses: 1. The venison "hamburger" 2. Cappuccino 3. Roasted apple 4. Crudo/sashimi 5. Scallop 6. Lobster 7. Venison skewer 8. Duck leg 9. Dessert This feels like an egregious oversight. And, based on what we overheard from the table next to us--almost felt deliberately misleading. The wine pairing is plainly described in the menu as "five pairings." As dessert was brought out, the table next to us inquired about the remaining pairings, as they'd only received 4 pairings up to that point. The waitstaff tried blaming it on the fact that "dessert wine is polarizing" and "we over poured the other pairings," but those are weak excuses. If you're not going to offer the full 5 pairing flight as advertised, that needs to be communicated ahead of time. Overall: With a price point, including wine flight (had that worked out), per person of nearly $325--The Guest had too many substantial misses. While the food may be ready for prime time, the service is leagues behind.

    The Guest, located inside The Regular, is a full dining experience rather than a traditional…read morerestaurant, and it's a strong addition to the Denver food scene. This is a timed, coursed dinner where the entire room sits and eats together, so arriving on time is essential. The format creates a restaurant wide dinner party feel, which sets the tone for the night. Everything feels intentional, from the pacing to the service to the design of the space. The menu changes often and is never repeated, which makes the experience feel special and creative rather than formulaic. Standout dishes for me included the duck doughnut, the wood ear French toast, the venison burger, and the leek cappuccino. The kanpachi crudo and scallop with tamarind were also beautifully balanced, and desserts like Cash's Apple and The Sphere were thoughtful finishes rather than an afterthought. One of the more memorable details was the menu book at the end of the night, featuring the chef's original sketches of the dishes. It's a small touch that really reinforces how personal and considered the experience is. If you're looking for a unique, chef driven tasting experience that feels cohesive and well executed, this is absolutely worth a reservation.
