    Very cute place. My almost 2 year old nephew loved it! He especially liked the giant train track and the firefighter costumes and truck with a hose. And I thought that everything was so cute! We were entertained the entire 1.5 hour session. We were lucky to have only about 4-5 families in the play area with us. I think it would have been way too crowded with the max registrations (which is set at 30 kids).

    Had our party here for my sons 5th bday and it was ok but was disappointed in a few things tor the cost - we chose the option 3 which is they do it all $995. It said it came with decor pizza, fruit tray, vegi tray cupcakes, drinks, water. I didn't need the cupcakes or use of their invites as I always get my own and asked if we could do firemen theme and incorporate Marshall from paw patrol. They said they could take care of this no problem. I asked where pizzas come from and they said Parry's which a nicer restaurant style pizza place. The week before party I reached out to verify trays, pizza, etc and gal told me they only do 1 tray fruit or vegi. I said that's not what website says and was concerned having enough food for vegetarians I had, they conceded to have both because website and "corporate made a mistake". I asked about cake stands if they had and they said yes but they would use for own cupcakes, I reiterated I didn't need their cupcakes and they said ok. When we arrived they had stands out and I started to put my cupcakes on and the gal tried to say that I had to rent cake stands to be able to use?????? Like seriously? I told them I already asked about the cake stands and if they had told me I'd brought my own and she relented. When pizza came it was dominos vs nicer Parry's. I hate dominos and was disappointed by inconsistency of their info prior to party. The gal had the cake cutter and wanted to cut the cake and she absolutely butchered the cake into these GIANT sections for adults I had to ask multi times to slice them smaller. If you're going to cut the cake you really should know how to cut a cake so you're not demolishing someone's cake. I wish they advertised or let parents know about no shoe policy because their floor is not sock friendly- my son fell multiple times. I understand to keep dirt out but just more info ahead would have been helpful. Maybe they should look into selling rubber padded socks. I really felt like for cost the party was not worth for almost $1000. I wouldn't suggest to others here.

    If you're looking for a place to escape the elements and meet up with some friends for a playdate, this is it. This play space is small but mighty! The theme is a pretend town with a doctor's office, pet rescue, fire station, house, pizzeria, and grocery store. All of which have just the right amount of manipulatives and costumes to entertain without being messy. As a teacher, this place is designed to grow minds and we adore it! Wish there were some in the Midwest where we're from. The bathrooms were spotless. I should also mention the staff we interacted with Kayla and Rachel were both incredibly friendly. If you're in the area definitely check it out!

    My son loves this place!! We came from California to work for a couple weeks, took my son twice and he had so much fun on the slide and looking at the Guinea pig! So many different play sections!!

    Great spot in Highlands Ranch near Whole Foods. This indoor play area is a fun place to go on cold days. It has a number of different shops to explore, an indoor slide, a large train track, a building block area, along with other fun activities to keep your little one busy. My little one loves the fire truck and school bus. And they have two real Guinea Pigs in the veterinary room. You can purchase additional activities too to make things like slime. I have found that weekdays are less crowded. Since it's not a big space, it helps to go when there's less chaos. Plus, too many parents are not keeping tabs on their kids and encouraging good behavior. That's been my only complaint when I've come. You need to make a reservation ahead of time and kids get to play between 1.5-2 hours depending on the time of day you reserve. Cost is $13 per kid which is reasonable. Really appreciate that adults aren't charged. If you're required to be present with your child, you shouldn't be charged for that. The staff are friendly and kind. Kids get a free snack at the end of their session too which is nice. I think some of the rooms could benefit from more things to do, such as the grocery store, which always seems a bit sparse. I love all the wood toys, rather than so much plastic. Much better for our kids health! I appreciate how clean this place is. The entire place is so well kept and the bathrooms are also in great shape.

    This place is very cute! They have little areas with different themes (doctor, grocery, vet) and some even have costumes. The main area had a huge toy train area. There are some tables for parents to sit or kids to draw. My son is 13 months and had a great time. There are some pretty cool gadgets on the walls that will keep the kids entertained for a while! The place is fairly small. Its good since you can see your kid no matter where you are but if you go during a busy time, it gets pretty crowded. There are cubbies to put your personal items but no food or drinks are allowed in the play area but they give everyone a snack before leaving. I didnt like that they allowed shoes since my boy recently started walking, he still crawls around a lot. You will also need to reserve a time slot online before coming in.

    Absolutely wonderful place for kids and a great bargain. We enjoyed every minute of our visit. Very clean and had tons of options of things to do.

    We had a great time playing at Play Street Museum! Drove in from Castle Rock for a playdate. Good location, lots of parking. Friendly, caring and kind staff. The check in /waiting area had fun toys for purchase (I wanted them all) and toys to play with while one waits to check in/ turn to play. The faculty was VERY clean.... not just no mess on floor but toys and walls and carpeting clean and like new. Lots of areas to play in and you can be anyone... bus driver, doctor, homemaker etc. Table for coloring and hands on materials available. As well as discovery area with a theme and books! We arrived around 10 and it was busy (winter break, we didn't really think it through). My playdate was a few late and was put on waiting list. Staff where kind and even offered a snack for the waiting kiddos. Within 10 minutes they got to play!!! So keep that in mind ...Arrive early or plan off peak like lunch time! With lots of kids mine still had a blast and lots of new friends to play with. All the littles had enough room to run around and play! The kiddos received a token for a snack.... they were delighted!!!! Win for me! Also free WiFi. Clean bathrooms even a few diapers and wipes (so nice because she have used up or forgotten some key items in the past). We plan to go back very soon and even get a pass (extra savings). Bonus: they don't charge for parents!!! That's a win but I did want to play and was thinking "hey kid when done hand it over to me". Can't wait to go back!

    Having just taken my nearly 2 year old to the Denver Children's Museum for the first time the day…read morebefore, this was SUCH a breath of fresh air. I can't say enough good things about it but most importantly how is this free?! I feel like they could charge $5 admission & I'd still be cool with it but I'll take free all day! My son has never seen a farm & growing up in San Jose my mother often took my brother & I to a place called Prusch Farm. Very similar to this museum so I was delighted to be able to find something I could take my son to so that I could try to give him the kind of cool childhood memories I treasure. This was even better because of the working Blacksmith! My son was in awe by the whole thing but my husband & I have never seen a blacksmith in action either. The variety of animals plus the costumed volunteers & walkable buildings are such a great way to entertain a toddler. We got there at opening & were able to get everything done by the time it was getting more crowded around 11AM. I would definitely come back as we missed seeing the small indoor museum near check in.

The inside of the museum was very interesting with an art exhibit, a special exhibit which currently focused on Kate Farretti and the Littleton history area which included a kids zone. The Kate Farretti exhibit depicted the life of a famous hat maker originally from Italy, she settled in Denver with her husband and made hats for Denver's elite including Molly Brown. Kate was also mother to the first triplets to be born in Denver. You can spend a couple hours here and make a day of it. I loved the living history farm portion which included 1860's and 1890's farms and contained 5 historical buildings as well as outhouses and a root cellar. It is an acutal working farm with 1800lb cows, turkeys, chickens, sheep, donkeys and a blacksmith! The gardens throughout were beautiful, we got to pick some pumpkins and see what would have been grown in this historical time period. Both livestock and gardens were accurately portrayed for the time period. You can only bring water in so don't try to do a picnic onsite. You are able to bring strollers and wagons and I would recommend doing so, there is a lot of land to be covered which requires a lot of walking.

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.

You will learn about mining history and how harrowing and challenging it was, and see the actual tools they used, and how techniques developed over time. You will see shafts and tunnels you cannot explore but remain from days of old that inspire the imagination. You will also hear some silly ghost stories, and even see how UV light illuminates the rocks and minerals in the mines. Interested in history, gold, geology, or mining?

I really like the way that they set things up in here and I'm sad to see them go, but you can still go this week before they close down (August 2nd, 2025) to find a new location.
