This world-renowned museum is just plain fabulous. Great for young and old, its exhibits are captivating and expansive. The Gem Collection and the Konovalenko Carved Gems are well worth the ticket price. Worth seeing here are IMAX shows, the planetarium, and Expedition Health. While you're here, you could also go to the Denver Zoo which is great and shares parking lots with the museum.
