 Don't worry. It's okay to pet the dinosaurs here. In fact, we encourage it. Along with your expert Museum Guide, explore Colorado's fossil and modern life in a comfortable setting.
The museum experience is perfect for the "dino-maniacs" in your life, whether they are 3 or 93. If your youngsters are studying natural history in school, the exhibits and guides will answer all of their tough questions. Come explore with us!
For over a decade the Museum has pioneered challenging, relevant, and interactive programming for all ages and levels of ability. Our School Tours utilize and augment state and federal science standards. The program consists of docent-led discussions and activities and one optional self-led activity. During the tour students discuss a wide range of locally relevant natural history topics with their guide. Tours can be customized by request. The MNHM currently offers two different types of school tours: the Museum Tour and Geology Tour.
