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.

Shoutout to the amazing guy to held the train door open when he saw us running across the street! The station is pretty easy to get to, has plenty of parking, and the train came on time. We caught it on our way back to the airport and it was easy to navigate our way there from Central Park Station.

There's a creek that's secretly a flood project (sneaky), random sculptures, and even a mini playground where kids were going full chaos mode. I saw a guy walking his cat. It's not long, but it's packed with character--like a park with a personality. Would 100% walk it again, preferably with snacks.

I really like how Denver repurposes land into areas for people to enjoy!…read more This is a 1 mile area with one end at Franklin St and the other at Steele St. I actually started at N. Williams St where I parked. I headed toward Steele St and walked to York St. Between N. Williams St & Clayton St. are four sculptures created by Walczak & Heiss. The first one is called "Flood". There was a catastrophic flood in Denver in 1965. 39th Avenue Greenway is collects and directs rainwater during a flood. The second one is called "Zephyr" that is shaped like a train track rounding a corner. It is about the Burlington Zephyr which set a speed record in 1934, running from Chicago to Denver, and it went right through this site. There are two railroad tracks on the greenway. Oh, this Zephyr sculpture is actually a sundial! The third one is called "whereami". It's a 16 ft tall sign with 37 places pointing in different directions with distances on them. This sculpture was made in collaboration with student at the Bruce Randolph School. Then I walked back to my car and drove to near Clayton St to see the fourth sculpture consisting of 2 metal horns named "Conversation". The two megaphones are across from each other and you can talk into them and your voice (even a whisper) will be amplified loud enough to be heard across the way! Afterwards, I drove to Steele St. to see the steel sculpture which spans Steele St. It is called "Eastgate" and looks like a huge ribbon! Reminds me of the old fashioned Christmas Ribbon Candy. Artist DeWitt Godfrey created this piece in 2021. There is a warning sign to climb to safety in case of a flash flood. So yeah, be alert if it has been raining! This is a great space for people to walk, ride bicycles, and also has a play area for children. The playground includes a cement slide and log climbing structures made of wood pieces handcrafted by Nature's Instruments. I've seen other play equipment by this company at another park. Although it's very pricy, it aesthetically blends in! There's also a small area filled with sand in another nearby section. The day I came to check it out (Oct. 5, 2024), there were families, couples, cyclists, and people walking quickly for exercise here. I mainly came to check out the sculptures. It was great to check those out and get a little exercise and some Vitamin D!

I was so pleased to come across this toy store on a recent visit to the area... I was en route to…read moremeet up with my Aunt and Cousin and my almost three year old cousin that I had never met when I realized that a gift would be a great idea. I had 15 minutes before meeting up and I manifested a place to purchase this gift. I literally walked right into Timbuk Toys. It was perfect! I found a handful of items that were perfect including a paint with water activity book, a stuffed animal, and a rubber snake. There is a great selection stuffed into a smaller storefront and there are all kinds of toys for any age kid (or adult)! Prices are reasonable. The women working there were helpful and friendly and put my items into a bag with colored tissue and ribbon upon request. If you're in the area and in search of any kind of toy, you'll likely find it here!

Five‑Star Experience! From the moment we stepped through…read morethe depot doors, the staff was warm and welcoming -- truly a great start to the day. I was disappointed that the gift shop didn't carry 3XL shirts or sweatshirts. Large women and men love souvenirs too, and we're happy to spend money when the options fit! The food was just okay. I ordered the beef nachos -- the portion was huge and definitely shareable -- but they lacked flavor, and I only ate a few bites. Steve said his burger was fine but nothing to write home about. The highlight of our trip was the open‑air car, made even better by our host, Brett. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the canyon, pointed out landmarks, helped us spot bighorn sheep and deer, and took photos for anyone who asked -- always making sure the background was perfect. Thanks to him, we have beautiful memories captured from our ride. Be sure to tip Brett -- he absolutely deserves it!

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

Definitely of the best museums we have here in the city- and it's very affordable at $13/pp. This is one of the most exceptional displays and collections on transportation history I've ever seen. If you tend to take your time through museums, I would budget at least 2.5 hours for this one. They probably have over 100 different vehicles, not including bikes, trains, planes, etc.. Note: I would not recommend this space for children, however. This will be my new spot to take out of town guests!

I'm sure people with particular passions would find some portions exciting. But for me, a random person with a random kid, it's just ok. There's a level of technical detail about many items in the collection but little story or context. For example, there's a diagram that shows the literally hundreds of parts of a steam engine but nothing that explains at like kid level how it works. And what do the giant cars of the 1960s, as a trend, say about America at that time? I have no idea. I get that they don't want people touching the collection, but the signs and volunteers around feel oppressive at times. Some things like the train passenger cars even appear set up for people to be able to go in, but I've never seen them open across multiple visits. The streetcar has an unattached, standalone lever in front, going into the roped off path -- which seems like SURELY it's there to give kids SOMETHING interactive -- but it also has a "don't touch" sign, which is almost comical, like a flashing red button that just says "don't press this button."
