- Meow Wolf Denver's Convergence Station: Step into a world of interactive, psychedelic art installations. It's like Alice in Wonderland on a sugar rush, and absolutely not to be missed.
- The International Church of Cannabis: Learn about the history and botany of everyone's favorite green goddess (or not-so-green bud, depending on the strain). Hey, not all museums are highbrow, and that's okay!
History Buffs Rejoice!
History Colorado Center: Delve into the rich history of Colorado, from the Wild West days to the modern metropolis it is today. Learn about the struggles and triumphs of the people who shaped this state, and maybe see a real chuck wagon up close!
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
Molly Brown House Museum: Unsinkable Molly Brown wasn't just a survivor of the Titanic disaster, she was a socialite, activist, and all-around badass. Explore her historic home and get a glimpse into Denver's past.
Forney Museum of Transportation: Choo choo! All aboard the time-traveling train that is the Forney Museum! From horseless carriages to sleek locomotives, this museum is a must-see for any transportation enthusiast.
How to Museum Like a Pro:
- How to Pick a Museum: Think about your interests! Dinosaurs? Nature & Science. Modern art? Meow Wolf or Denver Art Museum. Cannabis? (You guessed it!)
- How to Save Money: Many museums offer discounts for students, seniors, and military members. Some even have free admission days!
- How to Avoid Crowds: Weekdays and early mornings are generally less crowded than weekends and afternoons.
- How to Dress: Most museums are casual, but you might want to dress in layers as some buildings can get chilly. Comfortable shoes are a must, especially if you plan on doing a lot of exploring.
- How to Have Fun: Don't be afraid to ask questions, take pictures (unless otherwise prohibited), and most importantly, enjoy the experience! Museums are treasure troves of knowledge and wonder, waiting to be explored.
