Great museum - not just dry information, but interactive and entertaining as well . Both my mom (a senior citizen) and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned a great deal.

Opening in April 2012, this brand-new, high-tech, Smithsonian Affiliate museum brings Colorado history to life through stories and exhibits right in the Golden Triangle Museum District.

We got a sneak peak of History Colorado Center for the Denver Post Top Workplaces event . Beautiful building, especially the inlaid floor map. Can't wait to check out the entire building.

Photographers ! Check out these vintage Documerica photos taken in CO in 1970s. Take a photo of the area today, submit it to our State of the Environment Photo Project, and help us document the change. Read more

The current exhibit features a dust bowl theatre . It was my favorite part. I also recommend trying on a bronco barrel.

The whole place is great, very well done. The A to Z is a great snapshot of Denver & the Time Machines are fun to move & learn from.

Missy Bergen

Awesome for kids!! Way more interactive and hands-on than I thought. They put a lot of hard work and thought into this re-build and it shows.

Awesome for all ages. Very conscious during covid times. Denver needs to support places like this.

We loved the free "behind the scenes" tour of the archives at 11am on Tuesdays during the summer!

Caters to kids. I wish that there were more mature exhibits . It felt like it should be called The Children's Museum on Colorado History.

J.T. Fales

The Sand Creek Massacre exhibit is excellent and sobering
