The Golden Curiosity Shop 17742 South Golden Road, Golden, CO 80401

"This store is absolutely AMAZING. There is such a huge variety of everything you would expect to see in an oddities shop. They have a lot of rarer skulls that are typically pretty hard to come by. The one of a kind finished pieces are beautiful and entrancing. In my personal opinion and experience, things are priced fairly and reasonably. Luke is so friendly and so helpful. This shop is well worth the visit and i had such an amazing experience. I will definitely going back again and again and again."

"Stopped by for the first time today after looking for curio shops in the area. Service was excellent and I walked out with all sorts of goodies. Plus Watson and Crick are adorable."

"This amazing shop is a real gem. We stopped here after visiting the School of mines and had a great time looking at all the fossils, Tesla coils, lenticular lenses and more. I left with some film stills that will make unique gifts."

"Awesome store! Great customer service and amazing inventory. Very knowledgeable and helpful, could definitely tell he had passion for his work. Bought a preserved baby snapping turtle that looks great next to my fishtanks. While I was looking through what they have the guy was showing our little girl the live axolotl tank , she loved it. Will definitely be going back!"

"What an absolute treat! One of my new favorite places in Colorado. It was like being able to walk through a natural history encyclopedia. The owner, Luke, is so kind and had incredible, crazy stories about all of the pieces in his shop. He took the time to walk us through the shop and we were blown away. Definitely worth a visit on any trip to Golden (or Denver, for that matter)."
