Denver Botanic Gardens

Explore an urban oasis at the 24-acre Denver Botanic Gardens. Just steps from downtown, nature unfolds here in unforgettable ways. Plant specimens from the plains to the alpine showcase garden designs that thrive in Colorado’s semi-arid climate. The Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory houses thousands of tropical plants in a lush and balmy environment. A 3-acre children’s garden sits atop the parking structure and provides hands-on, plant-based learning and play for kids. And art exhibitions are presented throughout the year.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from 7 Day Expiration A great idea but I bought the CityPASS tickets in a rush and didn’t see they expired after 7 days. Really disappointed to have spent so much and only used one ticket. A warning in the purchase process would have been nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy and Economical CityPASS was so easy to use and saved us at least 40 percent. It also helped us learn about options for our Denver trip.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Lost money this time as first time user CiryPASS was a good concept, but did not save me money in the long run. I bought pass for myself snd my two teens for 3 events. Unfortunately, could only go one day out of the week which is on us since we only we able to go to two locations in an 8 hour period. That was ok. Although, I had to pay for three full priced passes for each of us ages 12 and older I really did not need to for one of the locations since under 18 years old was free at this particular museum. The other location gave us the most basic pass. So I lost money and even if I used pass for all three we intended to go to I would have list money with my teens and only saved about $5 for myself. I had some idea how much admission would be looking at websites, but should have done a deeper investigation. So just do your homework.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from It's a good deal Having to go into the event space and redeeming your tickets was a pain, with the pass you should be good to go . The Aquarium was just OK.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Partisanship Interesting, but I was disappointed in how one-sided your city's museums are. Very partisan, ignoring the fact that there are difficult things done by both sides of most conflicts, and that good science is not only represented by evolutionists.
