Eric Nelson:

"Nice displays and a good place to check out if you're near the CU campus."

"Although the museum is small, it covers a lot of ground. There’s a great fossil room with many cast replicas and a few original fossils. I really like the ammonites and the large sample of petrified wood. My husband likes the sabertooth tigers and other felids— they have very interesting shoulder blade anatomy. There are also some interesting pottery examples, and different types of clovis points downstairs. The museum is free of charge. There are restrooms and a drinking fountain. There’s a small gift shop with a few items that I share to please children."

"We had a good time. If you budget 45min here with your kids you’d probably be good. There is some short term parking close."

"The big selling point for my friend and I was that this museum is free. For the two floors and four different rooms, we ended up spending about an hour. The fossils are really neat, and there were more of them than I expected to see. We parked in the Euclid parking garage. Came in on a Sunday and we only saw other people in passing, it was great!"

"A very nice place to visit on the Univ of Colorado campus, right near the bookstore. Best place to park is the Euclid parking garage - just a couple minute walk to the museum. The museum has a great set of galleries, each with a focused science or natural history topic. Our favorite was the main floor fossil gallery with some very unique specimens. A great place for young kids also. And free!"
