Denver Museum of Nature & Science 
Museums / Galleries, East of Downtown
Fodor's Review:
Over the past 100 years, the museum has amassed more than 775,000 objects, making it the largest natural history museum in the western United States. It houses a rich combination of traditional collections -- dinosaur remains, animal dioramas, a mineralogy display, an Egyptology wing -- and intriguing hands-on exhibits. In the Hall of Life, you can test your health and fitness on a variety of contraptions and receive a personalized health profile. The Prehistoric Journey exhibit covers the seven stages of Earth's development. The massive complex also includes an IMAX movie theater and a planetarium whose Space Odyssey exhibit simulates a trip to Mars and thoroughly annotates the stars in the night sky. The impressively refurbished eating-and-relaxation area has a full-window panoramic view of the Rocky Mountains.
