"Absolutely stunning collection. I might have gone a little overboard on your thumbnails at the gift shop. Pyrite, wulfenite, erythrite, cerussite, grossular, gaudefroyite, and quartz var faden"
"What a great experience! This well exceeded our expectations on the number of rocks, minerals, and gem stones available to see. We also enjoyed the interactive mine display and glowing gems!"
"Really nice museum, and it's free!! If you go on the weekend, parking is free, so I'd suggest doing that. I'd budget 30 minutes to one hour of your time to see this museum -- there are lots of cool geodes, minerals, etc to see there. Samara was great with answering my questions before arrival and the person working at the desk when we visited today was also really nice. We will definitely take visitors here - what a great experience!!"
"A great place to visit, with a massive display of every kind of rock, mineral, and crystal specimen that you can imagine. Two levels of exhibits, organized by where the specimens came from - all the counties of Colorado, different parts of the US, and many foreign countries. Every display is visually stunning with amazing shapes and colors. There is also a display of nice fossils, meteorites, and moon rocks. A great place to bring the kids! Admission is free, but parking fee is now required just within the last two weeks - $10"
