Denver Museum of Nature and Science

On Saturday we went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science as a part of an Art History assignment. The assignment was to visit the museum and see the exhibit on Native Indian Cultures, which actually turned out to be very interesting and full of random and surprising facts, for example did you know the Native peoples of the North (like the Inuits and Eskimos) were the first to invent snow goggles?

We also saw the prehistoric dinosaur exhibit, the animal exhibits, and the space exhibit. We wanted to see the new Expedition Health exhibit which is supposed to be really interactive and hands-on, but you have to get a reserved time ticket to visit the exhibit and we weren't sure how long we were going to be at the museum and the kids all said they had homework to work on so they didn't want to be there long anyway. So we skipped it, but we may hit the museum again in the summer when we have more time.

One of the coolest parts of the museum in my opinion, was the Atrium and the sky terrace, both of which offered some really great views of the Denver skyline!
