Children’s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus

FacebookTwitter

The Children’s Museum at Denver’s Marsico Campus is a fun, interactive way for children to learn, grow, and express their creativity. Exhibits are all hands-on, fostering both imagination and education through personal, active experiences.

Though exhibits are focused on newborns to 8-year-olds, children of all ages are welcome. Teens and adults can unleash their inner child and discover a whole new side to themselves, or reinvigorate one that lay forgotten.

Exhibits

Exhibits are divided into 4 areas of learning and creativity: Explore, Imagine, Investigate, Create. Visit each set to discover new ideas, tools, and ways to spark your child’s imagination.

Explore

Discover the 500 ft long aerial adventure course in Adventure Forest, or visit Joy Park, where Colorado’s great outdoors await adventurers in the form of child-sized sand dunes and canyons. The six Explore exhibits offer children new ways to explore the world around them. Discover the nature right outside your front door.

Imagine

These five exhibits are designed to spark your child’s love of learning along with their imagination. Dive into adventure through reading at Book Nook, see what it’s like to be a fireman at Fire Station No. 1, or learn the ins and outs of being a vet at Ready Vet Go. Children get to experience their dream jobs and see what it’s like to live in a mini version of an adult world.

Visit Bubbles and learn what makes bubbles float through the air; explore solar and wind power at Energy; learn about Newton’s law of gravity and put it into practice at Kinetics!; see how water can transform the world we live in when you visit Water.

Get creative with four interactive Create exhibits.
