Nature Play Grand Opening

Don't forget to mark your calendars for the grand opening on Sept. 10, 2024. We'll (DMNS) be celebrating the grand opening of Nature Play with free general admission to the Museum from 3 – 9 p.m. along with fun-filled nature-themed activities and programs!

Nature connects us... to science, to oneself, to each other and to something transcendent that ignites our imaginations and fills us with wonder and awe. Inspired by our community’s love of nature, we’re blurring the line between the world inside the Museum—and Colorado’s diverse ecosystems just outside our doors.

Nature Play is a 4-acre immersive experience in City Park designed just for you. Through the construction of this community-driven design project, the Museum’s award-winning Explore Colorado dioramas found on the 3rd floor of the Museum are brought to life as an immersive experience designed for accessible, multi-generational, and multi-sensory exploration, respite, and play. Follow the water story from the alpine tundra to the grasslands of the prairie, celebrating Colorado as a place to learn, play and explore.
