History Colorado Center

Was really excited to see the Ute community exhibition. So many amazing examples of indigenous peoples craft and tool making. Really appreciated the balance of both historic and contemporary indigenous people's creations. This is a lovely and thorough museum to visit. Lots of great exhibits and crucial information about indigenous peoples, Chicano / Mexican-American people and history overall.

The History Colorado Center is a MUST-SEE!!! I cannot rave about this museum enough!!! My husband and I aren’t museum people but were looking for something to do while visiting Denver, and we stumbled upon the History Colorado Center. WOW! We loved all of the hands-on, interactive exhibits and the creativity behind the layout and rooms. Where else can you walk into a Dust Bowl era house to actually experience a dust storm?? Or stand on a pair of skis and simulate a ski jump?? It’s not all “fun”: the History Colorado Center acknowledges that there were/are terrible aspects of Colorado’s history. I think they did a great job of presenting different viewpoints and experiences that make you think deeper about others, and hopefully, “when you know better, you do better” Oprah. Thank you History Colorado Center for creating such an awesome, immersive, educational experience!

A big Squat 4 story Building. Built with a lot of stone. For me the 1st floor was a bust. There was a clothes exhibit, pass. Then I went up to the 4th floor and the exhibits got much better. I did enjoy floors 2-4. My only real issue was I thought the # of artifacts was lacking. The Denver Art Museum had 4 times the artifacts, and I'm not talking paintings and sculptures. This museum in my opinion had too many video exhibits vs real objects exhibits. That being said I did spend almost 2 hours viewing the exhibits. Overall for me this was a 3 1/2 star review. Due to I have to round it ends up a 3 for me. If you like video exhibits I could easily see it gain a star for you. Would I return? No, I much preferred the Denver Art Museum and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science!

Had a great time here. The museum has just the right amount of hands on, informational, and interactive exhibits. We appreciated that the museum faced tough topics head on. Well done!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15

This is a fun place for kids with interactive exhibits. It was free on the day we went. There are some fun exhibits like the general store antique car. Volunteers were very nice.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree

Omg went to visit one of their expositions and was so rich in details and so touching I was truly impressed! Met with senator Julie Gonzalez and she is AMAZING. It was her idea and her invite. What an awesome place to teach children about US HISTORY ! Phenomenal!

Gloriously old fashioned, but with ask the modern convenience and fantastic views. Buzzing Bar and nice restaurant. Sweet and fun historic town with lovely shops and update eateries. Reasonable prices.

My wife loves museums and we really had a great time at this one. As first timers in Colorado, it was great to learn about a lot of the history here, including the dust bowl. You can spend all day here..Plenty of parking in the garage right across the street. Definitely stop by if you are looking for a good museum.

Very interactive and interesting museum for all ages. We all learned a lot about American and Colorado history and the kids learned about life over a century ago through playing with the displays. The museum displays some of the history through the stories of Native Americans in a thoughtful way.

Such a fun interactive museum! We had 2 hours to kill and decided to stop by the history Colorado center for a bit. We did not expect it to be so fun and interactive! It was fun learning about the Ute community, our influence on the environment, and learning about the history of Colorado. We had to rush through the last 2 floors because 2hrs is just not enough! I recommend budgeting at least 3hrs to visit!
