History Colorado Center

"This is a great history museum very close to the art museum. Set on multiple floors it covers a lot of Colorado history from the Native American tribes through to the Dust Bowl and mining. It's a very big space and is quite spread out so I can imagine absorbs visitors quite well. It was $15 entry which I think is pretty good value considering the size of the museum and breadth of exhibits. One of the best exhibits was based around 100 objects and was a really interesting way to travel through Colorado history from a more human perspective. On the lower level, the exhibit on the 10th Mountain in WW2 was very good too, much bigger than I expected! Don't miss the Dust Bowl video presentation- it uses audio and visuals really well to give you an idea what a dust storm was really like and the impact it had on the people living through it. There's a cafe and gift shop and restrooms on every floor which is very handy. I will say, the staff were all very friendly too!"

"Great museum we spent 5 and a half hours here the only thing I didn’t like was the future Native American exhibition. It looked like something from a video game release as someone who loves museums this exhibition definitely did not belong and was just confusing. Other than that it was a great learning experience. I am from Florida and didn’t know much about colorado at all. Now I feel like I know a great deal of the local history some of it very dark and disturbing."

"This History Center is full of Colorado history. The museum was much larger than we anticipated. Unfortunately, we didn't allot enough time to be able to see everything. This is a must visit place and plan to be there for at least half a day. Parking is somewhat hard to find. There are metered parking spaces on the street and paid parking lots and decks around the area."

"My parents and I visited the History Colorado Center in March 2023 and had an enjoyable time. While we were there, there was a naturalization ceremony occurring in the main atrium which was special to witness as this museum celebrates one of the great states of the United States of America. I appreciated the museums commitment to honoring all voices of Colorado and not just those of white people. You could see throughout the exhibits the many diverse stories that make up the state's history. I also enjoyed learning a bit more about Denver's history from a small town to booming metropolitan area. This museum is definitely a must visit while in town to learn more about the great state of Colorado!"

"Haven't really spent much time inside since its opening quite some years and was amazed with the depth and breadth of the information presented and the interactive format here. Not only history buffs would certainly enjoy their time here, the unassuming visitors would also find this place entertaining while learning a whole bunch about Colorado. Great destination for the whole family. Highly recommended."
