Denver Museum of Nature & Science

Better late than never right?
November 6 - 14 was Denver Arts Week.  We only participated on November 7th because 11 of the Denver museums were FREE!  We drove down Saturday afternoon to Cherry Creek Shopping Center for free parking, ate dinner at California Pizza Kitchen and rode the FREE shuttle over to the museum.  David was really excited about riding the bus (he has been on a city bus riding kick - that's all he ever wants to do).  The museum of nature and science was a great pick for us.  We of course went to see the dinosaurs first - David loved it and would run from exhibit to exhibit.  We were also able to spend some time in the Space exhibit and we also visited the Gems & Minerals exhibit.
We learned a few things while at the museum.  First that the Denver Museum of Nature and Science is the fourth largest of it's kind in the nation.  Second, that David has a two exhibit attention span.  Third, free things means lots and lots of people.
If you ever get the chance to go to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, I highly recommend it.  I wish we could have stayed there longer or that there hadn't been so many people so we had a little more space but I would love to go back.  That probably won't happen so everyone else needs to go for us.
