- UsernamemaybeSaint Louis, MO30 contributionsMuseum is fairly large, with distinguishable areas to see. Lesson learned on using the culture pass, you still have to wait in line to get a real ticket, which was a bit confusing and frustrating. Visited on a Saturday and it was abnormally busy according to some folks we overheard.Written April 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- margatemensch2016Coconut Creek, FL800 contributionsA few days ago,I spent two wonderful days at the Denver Art Museum.Since the Denver Art Museum has an extremely multifarious collection of Art,this review is restricted to its splendid collection of 19th Century European Paintings.French Painters with marvelous paintings on display included the following;Camille Corot("Villa D'Avray Pathway At Pond")Gustave Dore("Street Acrobats"),Jules Breton("Haymaker"),Charles Daubigny,Eugene Boudin,,Claude Monet("Paths At Wheatfield,Pourville")("Fishing Boats"),Pierre Renoir("Banks of Seine,Bougival"),Gustave Caillebotte,Alfred Sisley("Road From Veneux to Moret")Camille Pissarro("The Thaw")("Banks of Oise,Pontoise"),and Paul Cezanne,among others.
I also appreciated fine paintings from the 19th Century by the following British Painters;John Constable,Edward Lear("Nuneham"),and David Roberts("Cathedral at Pisa".
All of the 19th Century Paintings that I mentioned are in the Hamilton Building of the huge Denver Art Museum.The Denver Art Museum is a true source of happiness.Written April 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MoosepilotTacoma, WA9 contributionsStranahan’s whiskey is pretty fun as a venue. The cocktail bar is made out of excellent old western themes and the cocktails are some of the best in Denver. The tour itself is fantastic as well lots of knowledge lots of great tastings that seem to rotate throughout the month depending on what tour you’re doing and what they’re tasting at the time. it was different each time I’ve been there and I had fun tasting different whiskeys both times. The tour guides are funny and amusing as you would expect them to be, but most importantly, they love their job and that comes through in the way that they guide you through the distillery .Written April 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nicole B8 contributionsI want to take this opportunity to say the museum is fantastic and I learned so much about Margaret "Molly" Brown, but the BEST part of our time there was our beautiful and kind tour guide, Ornella. My Mother is hearing impaired and Ornella personally took my Mother & I on a tour of the house so my Mom could learn and enjoy too. She was so patient and sweet. She made our day so magical. We will never forget her kindness.Written April 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- williamjamesiiiLas Vegas, NV10 contributionsThe bartender at my hotel in Denver insisted if we had one day to see the mountains we must do the Mount Evans Scenic Byway and SHE WAS RIGHT! You can see for miles and miles, there is the cutest lodge at the bottom and a gorgeous alpine lake along the way. But the best part is the wild goats roaming the summit and parking lot!! The kids loved them. The drive is a little scary so put the best driver in your group forth and white knuckle your way to the top!! It's worth it!!!Written February 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- williamrhinrichsCohoes, NY8 contributionsWhen my grandchildren learned we were going to Colorado, their first request was to visit Empower Filed at Mile High. We booked the tour and were not disappointed. Each one saw something that was of interest (ages 9 - 17.) Our guide was informative and engaging. The group size (15) was ideal. For Bronco fans, this was a "must see:" attraction.Written April 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
