Fun for an hour or so.

My kids aged 3-7 had lots of fun looking at all the stuffed wild life inside the museum.   There are all kinds of Colorado animals represented and there were even a few furs, etc. that my kids could touch.  Even more fun was had outside feeding the fish.  You can spend a couple of quarters on fish food and have fun watching the fish fight to the surface to get the food.  My kids had an absolute blast here even though there was a fine mist coming down.  We also walked over by the river and could watch the white water rafters as they came down the river right under us.  This is a great place to take kids on a quick outing.
