The Children's Museum of Denver is a popular attraction for both parents and children alike. It is an educational environment that uses play to teach. Located near Ocean Journey, it completes a fun days for the kids.
The hands-on exhibits at the Children's Museum spark intellectual, cultural and physical development, but more importantly, they entertain in the process. You can build a race car, create your own inventions, play with exotic animals or learn to ski, snowboard or skate at the year-round outdoor challenge center.
The revolutionary ski slope is made of a plastic material with special fingers that supposedly act just as snow would. If skiing isn't quite your thing, try Rollerblading along the South Platte River.
The Center for the Young Child is the museum's newest playscape. It is geared towards newborns through age 3. The attraction has numerous activities that enhance the learning process through simple games.
There's even a mini grocery store so your children can learn about the escalating cost of food at an early age.
There is a park next door with picnic tables and swings that make for a nice stop before or after your visit to the museum.
