History Colorado Center — Attraction in Denver

We went for the Brewsology; however, this is only a review of the museum itself. The majority of the center was too warm to be enjoyed. This could be due to it being after hours, but we did not stay and explore as long as we would have had it been more comfortable. There were some really cute exhibits, as well as others that we just passed right by. There was an old car you could get in, an old register to press buttons on and it popped open, and a fake cow to "milk" (if your spouse does this, have camera ready to video it---not sure if anything comes out as my husband stopped as soon as I started videoing). Our favorite was the school house and yearbook interactive experience. You sit in a school desk and take your picture. You then choose your hair and email it to yourself. Both mine and my husband's ended up in spam, so be sure to check there. It was cool to be able to go in and touch things, but we'd likely only do it once. We enjoyed stepping out onto the balcony for fresh air and being able to go back in to...

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...

My family and I came here to see the sand creek massacre exhibit and all I have to say is that I feel so disrespected. Coming from native roots and still currently practicing indigenous culture my heart hurts. While inside the exhibit not only are the LODGES completely set up wrong but they called them “tipis.” Not only that but the disrespectful people inside the exhibit making fun on traditional dances and prayers. Also we are indigenous or native NOT INDIANS! Not to mention facts are completely wrong! Let me add STOP putting the derogatory football helmets and team names in exhibits. And how are the casinos on reservations prominent to Sand Creek? they don’t even begin to display the violence and atrocities of the massacre. Do better and get your facts right. You’re better off going to the actual massacre right if you want truth and actual culture. I am truly disappointed...
